was a bit lax and didnt take the boxes down soon enough after chicks fledged and ended upwith 20 more eggs, 10 hatched out so far but 03 of them hatched 03 days early for some reason, and one passed away yesterday all other 09 look to be doing great though.

I'd say it's violet Judy as I can see purple cheek patches, it's gorgeous Dawn! The white? Does it have red eyes or black?

Yep, one - or both - would have to be carrying the albino gene. Congrats Dawn! I love Albino's!
