Silkied to straight will give you all straight with recessive silkied. (the straight is dominant and the silkied recessive so straight will always win over recessive so they show the dominant trait of straight and carry silkied recessively. If you breed a silkied to a straight with recessive silkied you get 50/50- 50 % straight with silkied recessive and 50 % silkied. The frizzle gene works the same way as it is also recessive to straight.)
I have bred silkied serama to smooth serama a number of times and the result is half the offspring are silkied and half of them are smooth. I've done this for the past 5 years, same result. I prefer, however, to breed silkied serama to silkied serama and only do it to improve feather quality and/or type.
