What are the possible offspring possibilities of these two chicken groupings?

I have a Buff gold silkie roo. What would I likely get if I paired him with a gold laced polish, black crested white polish, and a white splash polish?

I have a black satin frizzle silkie roo. What may occur if I pair him with the same hens mentioned above?

All the chicks should have normal feathers (like Polish, not silkie). They should have crests, and probably feathered feet. They may have muff/beard, if at least one parent has that. They may have dark skin (like silkies do). The combs will probably look a bit like silkie combs.

Color will depend a bit on whether that "buff gold" rooster has any black in his feathers, or whether he actually has genes that turn black into white or blue.

With the gold laced hen, chicks should be gold. They may have some kind of black markings, probably not actual lacing but it may look a bit similar. Or they might have blue or white instead of black, depending on what genes the father has.

With the black crested white hen, I'm having to make some guesses about genes, but I THINK the daughters will be mostly gold, and the sons mostly silver (=white, but maybe a yellowish or dirty-looking white instead of a clean white.) Either gender will probably have some amount of black, especially around the head. Or maybe blue or white instead of black, depending on the father's genes.

I would expect either blue chicks or white chicks from the "white splash" hen, depending on what genes the male may have.

Chicks should have not-silkie feathers, but half of them should be frizzled. Other feather/comb/skin traits should be like the previous crosses.

Chick colors:
gold-laced hen, mostly black chicks (may show some red, gold, or silver leakage as they grow up)

black crested white hen, mostly black chicks (may show some silver leakage as they grow up, or smaller chance of red or gold leakage.)

white splash hen, probably blue chicks.

(I'm a little unclear what "white splash" is, so I'm assuming it's the usual kind of splash, that looks mostly white with bits of blue or black here and there, and is genetically a black chicken with two copies of the blue gene. If it is something else, then my predictions of chick color will be wrong for that hen.)
