Of the 4 babies born from my Slate male Batman and pied female Thunder Cat, Nugget the eldest seems to be a regular green while Yoyo the youngest is a pied with more green than yellow on her. Dodo and Monster, the two middle ones were born with silver white down which means they should be blue series. I can't really describe their colors except that Monster is not a double dark factor and looks pretty bluish sometimes. Can someone tell me if there are specific names for their coloring?

Dodo looks like a sea green pied with a violet factor and a dark factor (single dark factor, single violet factor sea green pied). You can see the violet in his/her rump feathers. As for Monster, he looks like a sea green with a violet factor and a dark factor, however I am not positive.

They are just gorgeous. Dodo's coloring is very unusual.

Thank you! All 4 babies have the same violet rump.

Yoyo's green is more brilliant than Nugget, is that because of the pied factor? Also will Nugget grow more orange on his face as he matures?

Monster looks like he could be a Dutch blue lovie.
I have some pics of mine when he was a baby- looks similar.

I think that my favorite little faces between the babies are Monster and Nugget. :)

They do look similar! But Monster probably will end up darker because of the single dark factor.

Me too, they both have soft babyish faces. I also love that Monster has an appetite for green veggies!
