Cochin x polish color genetics question

My splash bantam Cochin rooster has been with my bantam silver laced polish hen, I didn't realize she was laying yet, and my broody Cochin hens had been hoarding her eggs with theirs. I have a silkie in with them so i ignored the white eggs thinking they were hers.

One of the hens decided to attack every chick that hatched, so i grabbed all the eggs and tossed them in the incubator. I've had two black chicks hatch so far with clean legs that i assume are the polish crosses.

I know crests may or may not show up to varying degrees, but I'm curious what the possible colors likely will be?

Probably all blue with various leakage like bits of incomplete lacing coming through. Crests and feathered legs are dominant so you should be seeing this on most chicks but to a lesser degree than the parents.

Hi, and sorry to butt in! But I have been curious about what a Polish X Bantam Cochin cross would look like, do you have any pictures of the offspring?
 
Also wondering how the polish Roo with Cochin hen turned out. I've just added an egg with polish g.l.roo and Cochin g.l hen as parents
