Could someone help me to figure out my birds genome please?

Your cockerel looks like a birchen-based. Breast lacing is not always present, can be easily hidden.
He could also be "Extended black" based but somehow I think he would be darker then.
Your pullet looks what I call "silver ginger". This is often a heterozygous columbian. Not birchen or extended black based.

The skin color and comb of silky is dominant.

There is an option for "golden" in the chicken calculator: S-locus S/s+
 
thank You. I've tried the option "golden" but it looks much darker that he. But well, that fits the best. If the pullet looks like "silver ginger" that means she has the ginger, or only looks like? ginger would be great

as far, with white silkie rooster, and her birchen male she produced black and i guess quail? chicks, they are 5 weeks old now so hard to tell for me how they will look in future..
here are babies: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=404812
I think it would be very interesting to make some kind of gallery of chicks down photos, with description what can they probably produce or carry, because i know sometimes chicks down shows genes that in the adult life are hidden in phenotype. or even a plugin to Your calculator [which i find the great tool in breeding..

] I imagine that as a "side view" of the chick and "the eagle view"

. Knowing what possibly chick can carry when its day old would be great help in selection. I know probably experienced breeders know such things, but amateurs like me, or less experience, or having less contact with many colour would find it a wonderful tool i guess. I would..

She has the pattern part of the ginger color, not the red groundcolor obviously.

Yes, I've been thinking about chickdown plug-in but it can only be very general.

e^Wh: yellowish, unpatterned
E^R: overall black/dark, dark shanks
