Silkie roo help

She looks to be a black-paint. She has lovely dark skin. If that's the same cockerel in the back of the photo, his tail does look blue, so I think blue partridge with dominant white is likely behind his colouration.

Yes that is the same roo in the background I was hoping to start a blue splash project with him too

That's plausible to do; breed him to your black hen and only keep any blue or black offspring, they will likely be hiding wildtype partridge, shown by gold or silver leakage in the neck and head, but if you then breed them back to a solid blue, black or splash bird, around half will be solid.
