These two chicks were found wandering in our neighborhood. Does anyone know what their breeds are? Or about how old they are?

I found clusters of tiny brown bugs in my chicken feed container (see photo). It's supposed to be a pest proof container, so I'm assuming they were already in the feed when I bought it. What are they and what should I do? I dumped the rest of the feed. And I cleaned the container out with bleach...

I couldn't figure out how to post a pic before. :D
