Six Parakeet Eggs?

Hi-My Green female keet just laid 6 eggs, over the last 8 days. This is my first experience in breeding keets. Is there any speical food I will need to buy for the keets once they hatch in 18 days. Also, can anyone give me a simple explanation about parakeet genetics, that is, dominat and recessive genes. I am curious to know what colors the baby keets may be. The Mother has yellow all over her face, and her body feathers are green. The Father has Blue Feathers, with some dark blue and white patches on his face. Can anyone tell me what colors the keets might be, or how to do a punett square to determine possible colors? Thanks everyone.
