Welcome to you! I hope this site will help you Green-Cheeked Conure mutation colors prediction tables by The Feather Tree/ Steve Garvin There are explain 4 the most common mutations: cinnamon, yellow sided, dilute and turquoise.
Genetic Calculator 1.3 Green-cheeked Conure - this is genetic calculator (I don't know why there isn't dilute), it sometimes can be helpful too but firstly look the first link because without basic knowlege can be hard to understand. When you know which mutation how is inherited, genetic calculator won't be necessary Here are lots of GCC owners, you can ask for help

Welcome to you! Your birds are beautiful and appear healthy. What is your goals with breeding them? To sell the babies for profit? For a hobby? Is this your first time breeding parrots? If so, I suggest you check out the breeder sub forum on here and be sure to ask any questions you have before you start to be sure you’re informed and prepared! Also, not sure if you have come across in your research yet, but because it is becoming better known in the breeder community, please consider “coparenting” the chicks with the parent birds. Basically, instead of allowing the parents to raise them until weaning or alternatively you raising/hand feeding them from hatching, you work with the parents to raise babies who get the benefits of being parent fed and know how to be birds but also like and trust humans. Best of both worlds and best for the babies if at all possible to do.
