What will happen when you breed 2 splash silkies?

Hello everyone! I currently have a splash silkie hen sitting on some developing eggs! The only rooster in the flock is also a splash silkie. I don't really know how chicken genetics work, is there a small chance that the offspring could be white or blue? Or are they going to be 100% splash? Thanks!

Thanks guys! That's a little disappointing to hear but baby chicks will be exciting no matter what!

You could have a chance of white chicks if they both carry a recessive white gene and both pass it on.
Most BBS breeders keep whites out of there lines but some lines had whites brought in at different times to improve quality.
Its not super uncommon since there's a lot of quality whites out there.
I wouldn't hold my breath but ive had it happen before.
