Not possible to get Violets. The dark chick could be a Double Factor Cobalt. When you add 2 dark factors together you can get a Mauve which is like a dark Grey coloured bird.

Try to post some pics of the parents and the darker offspring. perhaps one of your turq cobalts is a bad (light) colored turq violet and the offspring is then a (turq) cobalt violet. But rod is right if the really are two turq cobalts. Pics will show it. ;)
