To have a gray head, the father has to be a SFYB Single Factor Yellow Back or "Dilute" they appear green, but do not have black on them. Do you have a picture of the babies? White middle nodules could mean blue, but could also mean silver or pastel blue. Dad would need to be split blue to get these colors.

Not in my experience, no - can you get pictures of the babies begging?
