I got them from Atwoods a week ago, but they don't sort chickens by breed, so no one knows what breed they are. They have feathers on the side of their leg, going down to their cute little feet.

They're adorable. I'd guess Light Brahma if they have feathered legs. What is the comb type and how heavily feathered are their legs?
 
I thought I recognised the breed. I used to have some like that, but it's been so long that I need a dang chicken encyclopedia.

You can look at the pictures on some hatchery websites, just for fun or to try to identify.
I typically find nice pictures at https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com
And at https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com
Both of those tend to have multiple photos of each breed as adults, plus some chick pictures.

Many chicks look alike as babies, but what breed usually becomes a lot more clear once they are 3-4 months old.

Some Marans have lightly feathered legs, and they are sometimes crossed with other breeds to produce "Olive Eggers" that also have lightly feathered legs, so that might also be a possibility.
