California Whites lay white eggs. I think that the cream colored or light brown eggs would rule out California Whites.

I think you have Austra Whites instead of White Leghorns. That's why the eggs are cream colored or light brown. At a distance your birds look like White Leghorns, but when I enlarge your photos, it appears that they have a few very small black spots on them (less than Austra Whites usually have).

I you will post some pics of them (full body profiles, including the legs and tails), maybe we can ID them for you.

Fairly docile. Comparing them with the breeds from which they originally came, they were not as flighty as the White Leghorns I've had, but they were not as passive when being picked up by my children as our Black Australorps were. They layed well, but not really any better than the Black...
