My Silkie hen laid her first egg today! I wanted to find out if it would be possible to guess the colors of their offspring?

Drogon the rooster is black but has white in his neck and a little in his legs, he’s not a full black. Syrax the hen is a full white.

I bought these guys off FB so I don’t have any of their genetic history, FYI.

You'll just have to breed them and see.
The white should be recessive white so it can have any number of genes not showing. Recessive white hides everything.
The rooster has leakage so its apparent he has unknown genes lurking underneath. Too many unknowns to predict their offspring.
They won't produce splash though for sure. Needs a blue gene from each parent to be splash and the rooster doesn't have a blue gene.
 
Yeah, sorry. I didn't even look at the picture. Would that rooster be considered a partridge because that's a crazy amount of leakage.
