They look just like what my feed store sold to me as an "Araucana", but I am told they are actually Easter egger chickens, which is more of a type than a breed. They lay lovely shades of green eggs though! So enjoy

The first one looks like an Old English Game Bantam - I think Black-Breasted Red. I'm not sure about the second one. Does it have feathered legs?

there all clean legged birds. I'm hoping the white one is a japanese black tailed. I think the brown guy is a dark cornish bantam. Any thoughts

I assure you, they are not cornish. They have a completely different body type, as shown here-

Larger legs, wider set, and a very different head.

Here are the Araucanas and eggers-

as you see, they come in a variety of colors, but especially the partridge colors like your first chick. Most of mine look like that one.

Yours looks just like mine.

Seeing the legs on the second would help a lot.

The first one looks exactly like my Old English Game Bantams that i got last year. The second one im not sure about.

they both have clean legs....

Does the second one seem to have shorter than normal legs? In the one picture, it seems to carry itself like a Japanese.
