Your idea of using a male silkie over females of the blue egg breeds is very smart, as I recently found out that fibro Roos over light skinned hens create sex linked offspring, with the females retaining the dark skin. So that is a great starting place in my opinion.

Here are two of the cute frizzled laced satins that hatched out of blue eggs. (Sorry I said silkies above but these two are satin silkies) And there is a picture of a partridge silkie that hatched out of the same batch, so all 3 are from the same mom. So I’m not sure I would want to breed them...

That is so awesome!! After a whole season of shipped eggs and hatching, I have 3 silkie chicks that hatched out of a blue egg. And that’s about it 😂 Oh I have a silkie x ameraucana bantam that just hatched which will probably lay a green egg if it’s a girl.
