Don't take my word for this, as I'm quite new to mutations myself, but I'd say the first one is a normal skyblue, second, skyblue yellow face type 2.

 

Please remember, I'm new to mutations so don't take my word for it :)

Can you take a picture of the first budgies back? From the photo the wings don't seem to have the normal markings.

Flip trainer is right about the sky blue and the yellow face mutant two. If we could please see the backs of them, it appears from what little I can see of their head markings, that they might be opaline.

I'll try to get a photo of the 1st budgies back. By the way the 2nd budgie is the dad of the 6 day old chick that i mentioned in New To BBC.

Could some1 Identify the mutation of my hen (yellow bird not lutino) (the mate of my yellow face in previous pics).

There are also pics of the baby :lol: . (she does have iris rings and she is over 1 year old but 4 some reason the pics don't show her iris rings.)

First cock is a sky blue spangle

 

Second cock is a YF2 Cobalt opaline cock

 

Hen is a greygreen recessive pied

 

Best guess on a quick look

Dave has got the two cock birds right but the hen is a YF2 grey spangle dominant pied (probably also opaline)

Why didn't you just open the nest box, or is it one with only the opening for the bird?

If your birds are breeding in a colony there is no way of being sure that the yellow faced cock is the father. Hens will often mate with more than one cock bird
