They look like Pastel Calico's that could have something else going on.
Do you have pics of the sire and dame to see if maybe one of them has alittle extra in them?
And some better pics of the hatchlings would help too.

Re: What are they and what value??
Looks like you've got the fader gene in your pastel. The fader gene is still mysterious. Some people believe that it is just a really nice pastel that has been selectively bred, while others believe that it is a separate heritable gene. Needless to say, breeders charge a pretty penny for those extremely light pastels.

I suspect they are really excellent pastel calicos that will color up spectacularly. I'd wait at least a few sheds to see the color come in, and then I'd check out the high-end of the price range for pastel calicos, see if your animals are comparable in quality, or even better.
(And then you should sell them to me.)

Fader is something you'd have to prove out with a few more clutches to claim. But you can still sell them as "amazing pastel calicos, possibly with something else going on??" That's legit. People can make their own decisions about spending extra $$$ on a spectacular-looking maybe when they see the pictures.
Hey, do you have pictures of the parents? Who did you get them from?

Calicos are in the $4-600 range right now depending on the sex, quality and amount of white.
