Why are my leghorn chicken feet enlarged? One of them is bigger and more red but compared to my other leghorn she has very enlarged feet and also my rooster has like a red spot on his chins too?!

What does the bottom of the feet look like?
How old are these chickens?
What do you feed?

Putting your location in your profile will help us help you - are you in the US?

Rooster - photo looks like he has a bruise/injury on the leg, some scaly leg mite and the red streaks up his legs is most likely due to hormones, it just shows up better on lighter colored legs.

Hen - looks like Bumblefoot (what does the bottom of the foot look like?). She has a slight raising of the scales as well, so the beginning of scaly leg mites.
