Thumbs up Now this I know.

Hog Legs were made in 1969 mostly right after the 67 big men. That is why you see some 67 teams with a couple of hog legs.

Chicken Legs started in the early seventies, you can see the transition between hog and chicken around 1970-71. Chickens lean a lot due to the use of less plastic.

Haiti came after Chicken Legs. 1975-76. I remember getting Rams, Bengals, Steelers, and Dolphins at Colonial in downtown Detroit.

Haiti has a chalky feel. There is no translucence whatsoever in the plastic. Although they look bigger they are actually a lighter plastic than the earlier chicken and hogs.

I'll post pics later but for right now, for some reason, I am starved!
