Below, I have two Silkies. The white is a female and I’m not sure the name of the color on the male (I’d like to know if anyone has an answer) but I’d really like two know the color possibilities if I bred them. Thank you :)

So white in chickens is either Recessive White or Dominant White and there's really no way to visually tell the difference (unless the bird is a paint, which yours isn't)

So what chicks you'll get is fairly dependant on what type of white she has, if it's hetero or homozygous, and what she is underneath that white : D

And your rooster is a partridge ^^ possibly a blue partridge but some sort of partridge
 
If your hen is dominant white, you’ll get leaky paint. If recessive white, there’s no knowing what the color will be.
I’m very confused by the coloring of your rooster. He doesn’t appear to be partridge. Then he would have a black breast.
