Do you have photos of both parents? I assume the little Silkie mix is the broody mama.
Two lavender can only produce lavender, unless one of your lavenders is actually blue. Then you could get black chicks from this cross.

They certainly look lavender in the photo. The one in the back may be blue? It would be impossible for two lavenders to produce a black chick so one must be blue.
Or do you have other hens that potentially could be the mother? Your rooster definitely looks lavender as well.
Blue can range from so light that it looks lavender too so dark that it looks black. Many blue are self laced and often have a bit darker feathering around the head and neck, where lavender will be more a uniform silvery color over the entire bird.
