I got them from a friend who is not sure what they are as he got them from his father he thinks they are a cross breed vandevelder and yes there is light feathering on the shanks

The do look a bit like Barnevelders, and also black copper Marans. Maybe they are a cross of the two. They're pretty whatever they are.
