mating dark silver pied

There is no such thing as a
Dark Silver Pied' it is called a split Silver Pied. Assuming you meant split SP peaHEN to a White Cock you will get White, Silver Pied, and Split to SP and possibly split White Eye and split Pied depending on the background of the cock.

no I mean dark silver pied (from a pair of silver pied which gives 25% white white eyes 50% silver pied and 25% dark silver pied which has 2 white eyes) with white spalding and not an ordinary white
 
A Dark Pied carries two copies of the Pied gene, to imply that a bird is Dark Silver Pied is to imply that it carries two copies of the Silver Pied gene which is not possible. It is a Split Silver Pied. A Silver Pied is made up of one Pied, one White, and two WE genes, your split SP needs to be bred to a White carrying WE to produce a Silver Pied.
 
Mathurin, you are right there are dark silver pieds from two silver pied birds. They get a pied gene and a WE gene from each parent. So it will pass on a pied and a WE to each of its chicks. The Spaulding white if it’s not hiding anything will pass on a white gene to every chick, also Spaulding just in a reduced % to each chick. so pied, white, one WE and Spaulding are the genes for all of the chicks. No silver pied but Spaulding pied carring one WE gene.
