just one more thing know how we were talking about the blacks and white what if the white had a dominant gene the chicks would be white right cause i still want to try this even tho i shouldn't

Good question.
You have to know that Black Silkies have (normaly) a different ground-color (E/E) than white Silkies have (normaly) ground-color (eb/eb).
White Silkies are (normaly) recessive white (c/c => "c" stand for colorless) as you can see written with a little letter means need always a double doses to be visible.
The withe Silkies that have the Dominant white (I/I => "I" stand for Inhibitor of pigment) as you can see written with a Capital letter means need only a single doses to be visible (sometimes incomplete).

Now when you cross a Black (E/E i+/i+) X a Dominant White (E/E I/I) you will become 100% Dominant White (E/E I/i+) => 1 doses of Dominant white is enough to change all black-pigment into "white".

i+ means no Inhibitor of pigment.

thank u so really if u know the silkies is dominate white there is no point breeding them to any color other then white

I believe the offspring from the dominant white would produce the other color when bred.

That's how it works with my plecos anyway. I've been breeding unique fish for several years.

Not exactely.
Dominant white in double doses (I/I) is "complete" when the subjects are based on Silver (because Silver look for the human eye as white)
Dominant white (Inhibitor of pigment) is a relatively good inhibitor of black-pigment but a not so good inhibitor of red-pigment.
When Dominant white is in single doses (I/i+) it let pass about all red-pigment which result in very nice colorations as Pyle, Chamois, Jubilee ... along with "mystery" colorations as Paints, Bobtail, Exchequer ... along with a few mutations as Dun, Khaki, Smokey ... for not to speak of combinations with diluter genes as Blue, lavender.
Remember I spook of "fine tuning" knowledges ;-)​

Hold your horses ... this not go as simple as that.
To say it simple (but it is more complicated) for paints you need the gene I^P.
I wrote "paints" under "mystery" colorations.

You want to go from degree 6 directely to degree 1
