They're SO cute! I am surely not very good at determining gender, but my guess is your assumption is correct. Your little blue girl looks much like my Fiona!

Could you get a clearer photo of their faces in natural daylight? Right now the green looks female and the blue I can't tell.

I agree in order to get accurate sexting of your budgies get photos closer up and in window light. Best if you use a camera not a phone camera. No flashes to distort color.

I would separate them if they are not bonded. If they stay together there is no reason to breed them.

Do they all get along well together?
If they are friendly, there´s no reason to separate them. If you see one picking on another then yes separate them.

You don´t need any nest boxes. If your hens lay any eggs in the future, you can remove the eggs and discard them.

Is this teasing or is this serious? Do you think it will escalate into a fight?

It's common for femails to be fiesty especially toward males unless they're a pair. Even then they'll bicker. So long as there's no proper bites or nails involved it'll be okay.
Always have a spare cage ready just in case.

The females always seem together. I'd let them be. Many people with two female budgies would love to have pictures like yours!
