Thanks! :)

I would say Millie Fleur Rose Combs, but they've got single combs. Single combs do pop up in rose comb breeds if they are split for the recessive single comb gene.

Another possibility is Dutch Bantams.
 
I have never heard about this breed. :O I have bought them at a bigger animal market in Hungary (last year). Honestly, this was my first buying, and I totally forgot to ask their breed. :(
 
If you want to know whether she is Dutch, you need to know the weight. For the tiny Dutch bantams the weight (approx 450g) is very important. The blue/slate legs and posture seem okay.
Im not sure if the withe featherings in the tail is allowed for the standard specked or millefleurs Dutch.

Maybe she is a mix with another breed. And there are more breeds with speckled / millefleurs bantams. In the encyclopedia you could try to find one that resembles your chickens even more.

But even if they are not standard, you do have 2 beautiful pullets.
This page goes to info about the millefleurs colouring with photos. Translate can help you to read it. http://www.kippenencyclopedie.nl/php/index.php?title=Porselein
The Dutch name for millefleurs is porselein.
