They are probably about 5 weeks old. I was told from rural king they are calico princesses. They looked almost identical when I first got them but now their coloring is quite different from each other.
I can’t find much info on this breed and not positive that is even what I have.
Thoughts? Also they are supposed to be pullets, do you agree?
I have just 2 of them.

Thank you! And I would guess then since the Cockerals are more white in color that I have 2 pullets.
What I thought I had was actually 2 buff orphingtons. That is what I wanted, but when I got to Rural King nothing was labeled and the Chick expert was not in that day. The guy who was working that day gave me these 2 telling me they were Buff orphingtons but it became pretty clear pretty quickly that is not what I had. So ended up with a breed I had never heard of.

That’s a bummer! But your chicks are beautiful!
 
We have 2 Calico princess, both are docile & the pullet is super friendly and curious.
Thinking the one on the left is a Roo.

For future reference, orpingtons have white/pink legs.... this would have helped you know the chicks are not bo when you got them as both these birds are yellow legged. Always handy to have little clues like that when buying birds.
