So I just got these two girls today and I'm trying to figure out how old slash what breed they are. They're smaller than my other hens close to the size of my Rhode Island red Bantam mix but a little bit bigger they lay these tiny blue eggs as pictured (it's the Teeny one).

They looks like mixes, its hard to say the age of a hen after they mature. They are at least 10 months old, but they could be two years.
 
I agree they look like easter egger bantams... but maybe they have a little bit of blue copper marans somewhere in there, because of the feathered legs and they look a lot like that posture and color wise. Those eggs are definitely not marans colored eggs though, so maybe it's not a lot of marans, otherwise that gene isn't dominant. But they could really just be EE bantams.
 
::UPDATE::
So I woke up this morning and have noticed that one of the two new girls had one side of her waddle drop overnight like one of my other hens had happened when she was abput 6-7 months dose this mean they may be new layers?

Might be getting close.
