Breeding silkies

[CocoPopz]

Hi sorry if my title is confusing. Basically I’ve just ordered X12 silkie eggs from someone who keeps the following together-
Hens are 1 black 1 lavender. White and paint. 2 cockerels, white and paint.
Do you know what chances of what colour I could get from each mix please?
So what happens if
black hen cross white
black hen cross splash
Lavender cross white
Lavender cross splash
Paint cross paint likely to be 100% paint or not?
sorry it just confuses me.
thank you

black hen cross splash = 100% blue offspring
Lavender cross splash = 100% blue offspring (all will carry a lavender gene but it won't show)
Paints don't breed true so no not 100% paints. It will give you (on average) 50% paint, 25% white, 25% black.
black hen cross white and Lavender cross white = would be hard to say. There could be two different kinds of white. Silkies are usually recessive white but paints use dominate white and can produce all white chicks. So depending on which type of white will effect the outcome.
The other problem is with recessive white you don't know what's under the white. With it being recessive it takes a gene from each parent to be white. When youre not using one parent that has the gene then the one that does will breed like the pattern underneath and if we don't know what that is then we don't know what it will produce.
