This is the eldest chick - Yellow face, purple cheek patches, yellow and looks grey wings and looks mauve/violet on belly and tail feathers - not to sure what it would be classed as?

Chick 2 is a Mini-Me of Dad

Chick 3 is a Cobalt Normal???

 

 

Also in the last few days the hen keeps throwing out the wood shavings from the nest box, does this mean she is getting ready to lay a second clutch? There is only 1 chick left in the nest box and should be out in the next couple of days.

I think you have it

My guess is a yellowface greywing mauve.

Which means your cock and hen are split for greywing .

i would've gone yf opaline cinnwing mauve as the bub has purple cheek patches and the wings show a tint of brown on my screen

I am going with Kaz on this one if you had a picture with the baby just standing without your hands that would be great.

To me he looks yellowface violet dilute

Absolutely stunning whatever the real name for it is.Very pretty!!!
