Black silkie x White silkie cross

I'm guessing black, but possibly white.

It can be hard to predict colors when crossing a white chicken to anything, because there are several genes or combinations of genes can cause a chicken to be white, and those different genes show up differently in crosses.

But from what I've read of the genes common in Silkies, I think you are most likely to get black chicks. They will probably grow up to have bits of white leaking through the black in places, or perhaps some red or gold leaking through the black.
 
I have 4 of these eggs in the incubator and all are doing well! Today was day 4. :)
I just set some Silkie eggs too! Please post photos of the chicks when they hatch.
I agree with @NatJ that chicks will most likely be black but depends on what other genetics are involved. When I bred my white silkie rooster to a black hen, all the chicks ended up being black.😊
