We have 2 black silkies(we believe to be a pair:fl) and one buff. The question is what color chicks would we get if the back and buff should happen to mate??
 
Extended black is dominant, so it is most likely all the chicks will be black, unless the black parent had a non-black parent him (or her-) self. The new black chicks will likely grow up to be black with varying amounts of lighter colors in the hackles. The chicks those birds father (or mother) would be much more variable.
