The first cross would produce black and blue and some splash birds some frizzled and some not frizzled. They may leak some red through the black or blue. You would then cross a black offspring with a blue offspring. One of the birds needs to be frizzled: some of the offspring (from the blue black cross) will be red but will have some black or blue smut. You will have to breed out the smutt.
I am assuming the blue female bird carries gold; if the blue bird carries silver then the male offspring will carry both gold and silver
and you will get some silver males.
The best thing to do is to do the cross then see what the chicks look like, then decide what to do next. Not knowing if the blue bird is silver or gold complicates things.
