The first 3 babies appear to be Double Dark Factor Pallid. Grey rumps, brown splotch on the beaks and the feather coloring all point to that. If mom is the visual Double Dark Factor Pallid, then dad is carrying the gene so the babies could be male or female. If dad is the visual, all the babies are genetically females. You didn't say which is which.

The second clutch is a bit harder, as there's not enough visible feathering on all of the babies. The baby against the wall on the left appears to be a single dark factor Cinnamon Blue. The baby on the right is a double dark factor Cinnamon Blue. Can't see enough of the baby in the corner to be able to tell you much of anything. Which bird is the mother and which bird is the father?

Sorry I left out an important detail, the male is the Dutch blue. These are pictures are from a previous clutch. I'm still a bit confused because all babies are from the same pair but yet you call the latest clutch as pallid but the previous one as cinnamon. Please clarify.
