Both bought at feed store ( where they raise the chicks but couldn't tell me what they are?? I defintely saw BOs, BRs, Lavender Orps, Lavender Silkies, and possibly EEs, I'm not sure, I'm new at this)
Chick # 1 "Peggy" has a very round body, gray underneath, black on back. Short, light colored legs and beak with a red/brown ring around it. Fluffy cheeks..And it has these Partridge colored patches near its which is throwing me off, and it shows (she) is not pure BR. Very relaxed, peaceful chick but she is the smallest...dont know if that matters.
Chcik #2 "Buffy" is uniformly the same color. Wings are coming in the same, not lighter or darker. Darker yellow legs and beak, no wash. (She) has a spunky personality and pushes around the chicks 3 times her size.
The feed store guy (who again, raised these chicks also couldn't tell me how old they are. I've had them for 5-6 days

The first chick is probably a black sex link or maybe an olive egger. There are many possibilities for the second one. Maybe a white rock or Leghorn.
I thought the second one was a BO and it may be, but I suspect it is a white rock and the first is a mix of BR and WRock
 
I see rose comb on the first. Thinking Gold Laced Wyandotte and Buff Orpington
I'd love it to be a GLW but I don't remember seeing any in the flock. Although, there were (imo) too many birds in the pen and a building with 3 walls so it was hard to see everyone in there
