All black chicks (white in Silkies is normally recessive white) but all these black chicks will be carrier of 1 allel of recessive white.
When the cicks become mature they can have outbreak of red/gold in neck/hackle/wings (because most Silkies are based on gold).
This outbreak of red/gold become more possible on Black with unpure ground-color E/eb than on pure ground-color E/E.​

A chick that have 2 alleles of recessive white (c/c) is ALWAYS a white whatever is his ground-color. Recessive white is epistatic over all other colorations.

When the black chicks (C+/c = carrier of 1 allel recessive white) of you first cross Black X white will be crossed with each other they wil give +- 25% white chicks next to blacks and partridges (gold).
