A lot of other breeds come in blue besides sapphire eggers :D I'm not saying its not a possibility but the silkie parent could have been the blue one that passed the colour onto her.

I assume you don't have contact info from the person who owns/owned the parents? Make sure to update when she lays!
 
Yeah, these eggs were rescued from the mini farm at the local high school. They have a huge variety of chickens so it's really hard to know...the possible combos are endless. One started laying beautiful tan eggs...She is a beautiful black work silver collar markings. We'll see!
