Polish - WCB roo with BCW hen

Has anyone done this crossing or can predict colours on this pairing(s)?

White Crested Black Rooster over
A.). black Crested White hen.
B.). gold laced hen
I would expect the chicks from both pairings to look about the same: lots of black, with some small amounts of white on them. (Some might have small amounts of red or gold, but will still be mostly black. This is more likely with the gold laced hen, but could perhaps happen with either hen.)

I'm not sure about the crest color.

The black on the rooster is caused by a gene that is dominant over most other color genes a chicken can have, so most colors of hens will give similar results: chicks with lots of black and small amounts of other colors.

(I've never personally done this crossing, but I've read a fair bit about chicken color genetics.)
