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.

Cheers
