I have 4 silkies mixes.

They are amazing chickens. They got friendly gene from their father and mothers.

Mothers of the chicks, this picture are old, but that's what they looks like. blue and partridge have a beard and black don't.
 
Ok do they have to be mixed back to a silkie to have full silkie babies
If you want the silkie feathers, when you mix 2 silkie mixes half those chicks should have the silkie feathering, and if you mix the silkie mixes from that hatch together, or with different silkie feathered mixes, then most of those chicks would have silkied feathering...

Just keep crossing the ones that have the silkie feathering and eventually they all will.
