So when you breed cuckoo silkies to eachother will the chicks be barred?

Here are the colors I got, I have been calling the pale one a lavender (I also posted a closeup of the one roo's nice dark feet and beak, the parents had pale skin so this was a nice surprise too)









 
Not Lavender. He's a light Blue or Splash, and he has two copies of the barring gene. This is why he looks so pale.
The The dark legs aren't because of the 'black skin' gene. It's caused by a dark wash that is associated with the extended black pattern gene. If the skin was actually black, the bottoms of the feet would also be black.
