It’s a little hard for me to understand your question, but often it will take a while for a Silkie to develop the other colors. For example, I have a black Silkie rooster and a partridge/buff hen. Some of the resulting offspring were black with gold streaks:

but were pure black as chicks.

So, you may just have to wait and see.

I’m not very good with genetics though, but some other people are great at it,
