what do you get when you breed a black split to lavender roo to lavender hens or blue cream hens?

What do you get when you breed a lavender roo to black split hens or blue cream hens?

And lastly

What do you get when you breed a blue cream roo to lavender hens or black split hens?

I would use my genetics calculator but it is not working anymore. I also didn’t know if the color of the roo and hens matters because sometimes a (example: blue roo crossed with a red hen doesn’t equal a red roo crossed to a blue hen) just an example I don’t know if it’s true lol
 
black split x lavender = 50% lavender split, 50% lavender. The genes involved aren't sexlinked, so genders don't matter.

I don't understand blue cream. It seems to be a lavender based bird with buff leakage, so the lavender would work the same way--if you bred them to a black split, you'd get 50-50 lavender and black. I'm not sure how the buff would factor in.

EDT: @nicalandia might know more, and so might @The Moonshiner.
 
Agree with @sylviethecochin
Lavender to black split to lavender equals 50% lavender and 50% black split to lavender.
Doesn't matter which sex is which color.
Also won't comment on crossing with blue cream because I don't mess with them.
Seems they're a cross of lavender and buff and I don't see how they would breed true so I wouldn't guess what you would get with the cross. I would expect a variety of out comes.
 
Just saw where you're from.
I been out there at the lake a few times although its been many years ago when I was running with the ABATE crowd.
