What colour will this chick be???

Lol, I have done the unthinkable! I successfully breed a dark buff silkie roaster with 2 white silkie hens! These are their chicks!!! What colours do you think I got?

Thanks for your opinions!!! I love the excitement if not knowing!! Making something new!

White Silkies are Partridge(gold Partridge) Underneath and when crossed with Buff or Dark Buff the chicks will look very close to its dad(male chicks) females may look a bit different but mostly buff..

You are right! They turned out almost all exactly like their dad, buff!!! I only realized after the mother was a partridge hen! Silly me!
