Smokey color gene in chickens?

Hello.
I am a new member.
I live in Southeast Asia. There are no splash chickens here, but there are a lot of blue ones. I paired an FFS rooster with my white Bresse chickens. Blue birds came out of this pairing. I paired these blue ones with my blue Asians and have blue and white ones again. There are thousands of blue chickens here.

Have you bred other chickens with your Bresse? What did you get then?
And have you bred blue to blue without the Bresse parent?
 
It was a coincidence that led me to smoky. Due to a lack of space, I put an FFS rooster with my Bresse hens. This immediately produced blue chicks. I paired these with my blue Asians and they produced blue and white ones, but also black and wild-colored ones. The silver rooster is the son of the FFS. The other rooster is homozygous peacomb.
 
I show you my new chicks from jesterday A black barred and one dark brown. The third is I mean a barred brown ginger. All are smoky

I have lived here for 13 years. I have never seen a splash animal. The dominant white has only been around since Isa Brown came to the country for eggprduction. Duck eggs used to dominate. The blue is very common here. Why is this unlikely to have caused a mutation in such a large population?
