How exciting! Keep posting pictures! 
Baby #4 has pink eyes so you have a Lutino. Genetically, the baby is a female. Your hen doesn't show the ino coloring so dad is the one carrying the gene. That being the case, any and all pink eyed babies are females. No DNA sexing necessary.
Ino is a sex linked mutation so you only need the gene on one side (dad) to produce a visual ino. If mom is the ino and dad isn't carrying the ino gene, all males will inherit ino but none of the babies will show it.
Since mom and dad are doing such a good job with the babies, have you considered co-parenting instead of pulling the babies to hand feed? Just socializing is a lot more fun and you don't have the responsibility of working your schedule around the feeding schedule for the babies.

Wow, your birds are showing some nice surprises with their splits!! Momma being split for blue, daddy being split for Ino! Your gonna have a really colorful bunch there!!
What is an INO? LOL- genetics confuse me 
! But what color is ino?
I can't wait to see when they start to feather out! By the way thank you for your help!

This is what I did with my lovebirds babies and you can't tell a difference between hand fed and parent raised/human socialized birds at all!More sleep for us,better nutrition for the babies and lots of fun playing with babies,what more could you ask for?Why not spend the time just playing with them and let the parents do what they seem to be doing so well? Just holding the little ones is lots of fun, especially when they are mobile and decide you're a great place to explore!
