Hi, Jan
Male Turqois = (blue, parblue) or (parblue, parblue)
Female Grey = (blue, blue + grey SF) or (blue, blue + grey DF)
Since there are not sex linked mutations the offspring rate will be the same for males and females: possibilities:
1: (blue, parblue) x (blue, blue + grey SF)
2: (blue, parblue) x (blue, blue + grey DF)
3: (parblue, parblue) x (blue, blue + grey SF)
4: (parblue, parblue) x (blue, blue + grey DF)
Do you know the colours of your birds' parents? As you can see there are at least 4 possibilities of genotype combinations provided that there are not masked mutations (as grey masking violet) or split mutations (as male split lutino or pallid). Knowing parents appearence (phenotype) will help.
