    The top 2 are green. The one on the left has either a dark or violet factor, probably a dark factor.

    The bottom two are aqua (aka dutch blue). All young will be aqua like the parents, unless the parents are split to another mutation, meaning it's not visible.

    Yes. Both babies are blue series but one is probably a Dutch Blue (Aqua) and the other is a Double Dark factor Blue (Mauve). The double dark factor will turn the rump feathering grey instead of blue.
