The chicks are about 8 weeks old. They look like they might be the same breed, but different colors? Maybe an Olive Egger? One male one female?

They look like typical Easter Eggers to me, though I suppose there is a possibility that they are Olive Eggers. Both EE's and OE's have large variety between birds because they are not a true breed. Here is an image of one of my Easter Eggers when she was young.

If your remaining female bird does not lay olive eggs, then that will rule out the possibility of her being an Olive Egger. I think it more likely that she is an Easter Egger just by appearance though. Those can lay a variety of egg colors, but bluish/greenish is most common.

And yes, it looks like you have male and female.
