Hi, i have a blue silkie rooster and a white silkie hen. What color chicks will they produce if i breed them together?
 
No way to know for sure.
White silkies should be recessive white which means when breed to a non white that doesn't carry white then they won't produce white.
So it comes down to blue crossed with whatever is under the white which we don't know.
If the blue carries white it could produce whites if it doesn't they won't produce white.
Good chance she could be black underneath.
That would produce black and/or blue chicks.
She could be partridge and that would produce black and/or blue with leakage.
Maybe she is blue then you could get blue, black and splash.
It'd be a guessing game.
