What will I get from breeding F1 sex link?

I crossed a copper black maran rooster to a cuckoo maran hen to produce black sex link chicks. The two male offspring mated the mother cuckoo maran hen and an unrelated blue copper maran hen and the eggs are fertile. I am trying to work out what I could expect from the offspring from this unplanned cross?

Barred male (F1 hybrid) x barred (pure) female = all barred?
Barred male x solid blue female = ?

Thanks!

All males will be barred, ~50% will be double barred, and ~50s will be single barred. ~50% of females will be barred, ~50% won’t.
Barred male x solid blue female = ?
You will probably expect roughly ~25% blue, ~25% black, ~25% blue barred, and ~25% barred.

Thanks, I had a feeling it would be a complete mishmash!!! Is there any danger of health issues from inbreeding from the son to mother cross?
