I believe A is a rooster. B I'm not sure. Am I right about A? Any guesses about B? I believe they are white cochins but A has some tan so I'm not for sure about that either. Any help appreciated.

How old are they? They both look like they could easily be roosters, but if they are older, then B may be a hen getting ready to lay. They are not cochins, because cochins are much puffier and have much more leg feathering
 
Those are D'Uccle roosters.

Has the bird always had some tan plumage? I suppose, he could be a project color of fluke bird. But, white birds do often get yellowish/tan plumage from the sun.
 
ECSandCCFS I'm guessing from when the lady brought them and told me they were 4 weeks old that they are currently around 11 weeks old. I askedon't here couple of months ago if anyone knew the breed and white cochin waso the guess but they changed since that and thought I'd ask again.

RhodeRunner No when they came they were all white. They are free range and have plenty of shade and sun all day.Thanks for the breed info.

I agree those are D'Uccle cockerels. Cochins are also white and feather legged, but they're rounded and fluffy. Your little birds have closer, harder feathers, are more upright and have down swept wings. Plus, those stiff feathers that stick out on the back of the legs? They're called vulture hocks, a D'Uccle trait. Cochins don't have those, they have soft feathers all down the legs.
