Hello everyone! I need help! I bought these 2 girls back in April, they were labeled Calico Princesses, I don't believe that to be accurate. But if anyone could help me in guessing what they could be!

Could they be white jersey giants?
Here is my Vanilla for reference:

Or Bresse? I just saw one at the Fair and it looked a lot like yours.

Do they lay eggs yet? If so, what color?

If they lay blue or green eggs, then they are some kind of Easter Egger. Greenish legs are relatively common in Easter Eggers and relatively rare in other chickens, so that is my first guess for an explanation.

Neither of those breeds is supposed to have greenish legs. If either one does, then it is a poor example of the breed.

I would not completely rule them out, but I think other explanations are more likely.
 
So a little bit better pictures with more light! The one picture is one of the girls in question next to 2 of my amberlinks and light brahma! They aren't laying yet, they are about 16 weeks right now

That looks like a good feather-color comparison. On my screen, I see two with actual white (Brahma and mystery), and two with light yellowish coloring (Amberlinks.)

When they do start laying, the egg color might help figure out the answer.

Blue or green eggs would mean Easter Egger.

White eggs or brown eggs could point to a variety of other breeds, although the green legs would be the wrong color for most white-feathered breeds that lay brown or white eggs. So they could be showing a wrong trait for their breed (leg color), or they could be something rare and/or newly developed. The newly-developed hybrids are sometimes the hardest to identify, because there is not much information available when they are still brand new.
