Chocolate Silkie cross paint

What color would the chick be if a chocolate hen cross a paint roo ?

You should get roughly half Paint chicks and half Black chicks from that cross, not split by sex, and all male chicks would carry Chocolate.

So all solid chocolate chicks would be roo ?? Also would the paint have any brown in the spots?

No, Chocolate is sexlinked recessive, so the males from that cross would carry the gene without expressing it, and the females would not inherit the gene at all.
