Buff silkie roo crossed with a black silkie hen.

Ok so my RIR's eggs that I got her are hatching and there was one black crossed with a buff roo. I was wondering what color silkie this would make. Anything would be helpful! Thanks!!

Really, where would the pattern come from? I don't see how such a cross would result in a named variety.

recessive white--hidden in both the hen and rooster as they each had only one copy.

I know this is an older post but anyways, lol! My black silkie Roo and buff silkie hen hatched 3 splash chicks! I didn't see that coming lol! I am very new to chickens and this was my first hatch. Here is a pic of 2 of the chicks now, one died hatching. And of course they are both Roos haha!!

I see this is an old post, but can anyone enlightened me as to chick coloring from a black and buff silkie? When I ordered chicks I requested blue splash but received what appeared to be black, white and buff. I crossed my black roo with my white hen and buff hen l. What might I get? I know it's not straight forward with genetics...... just curious as to possibilities. Thanks!

This is an old post but I do know that crossing a white silkie to a black silkie will produce paint chicks, as far as breeding a black to a buff I would expect it to be mixture of the two colors in one bird, with that being said I’m not 100% sure on that one but I’d love to know what color chicks you ended up with!! I currently breed silkies and would love to hear about what coloring that combo makes, I have the same combo in my silkie pen but my buff isn’t old enough to be mating.
