I got two Zebra Finches Two Days Ago, And i really don't know how old they're. The female's beak is pretty much all orange except from a little patch of brown. How old is she?

And the Male Zebby's beak is fully black at the tip of it and orange at the top, how old is he?

I'd say they're both very young, with the cock being the youngest. Somebody here who has raised zebras can tell you at what age their beak should be totally orange/red.

Well I'd say you girl is about 6 weeks old and your boy about 3-4 weeks. My babies were born from the 2nd to the 5th of May and they're just getting rid of the last traces of brown on their beaks.
