My guess for the rooster is Blue-laced Wyandotte, about twelve-eighteen months old (though I can't see chest feathers, so that's a guess).

This is the best online picture I can find that matches that shade.

The hen looks to be about the same age, and I'd like to know whether she's black or dark grey or even dark blue--the glint in the picture is confusing me. I doubt she's a Marans--most of the ones in the U. S. have feathered shanks, as per SOP.

Could be an Australorp, but again, the shading is throwing me off.

Very pretty birds.
 
The rooster looks like a black laced red wyandotte, not a very common color. All wyandottes should have rose combs like it seems he does. Gorgeous guy!
The hen appears to have the look a blue orpington: large and puffy body, bright red and pointy single comb, orange eyes, slightly darker head & neck feathers and grayish legs. A beautiful and rare color. You're very lucky! (edit) If she ever goes broody you should try to hatch as many eggs as possible to try to get a few more blue offspring though they won't be purebred, they'd still be pretty I'm sure. But if you do, you would need a much larger coop.

Blue orpingtons aren't that dark, have black or dark eyes, not orange and typically have darker red combs, though not always (my icon is a blue orpington rooster).
But she does have the right shape, a nice fluffy girl

Maybe an orpington mix? Or Australorp mix? The orange eyes are throwing me off though because neither of those breeds with that colour have orange eyes
