What will my silkie chicks look like if I breed these 2 colors?

Hi, about 8-10 months ago I hatched out 4 silkies, 3 hens, and a roo. The rooster is black, but does have some bronze/gold leakage in his neck feathers, the 3 hens are all “show quality” they are all white with no other colors. All have dark skin, 5 toes, and blue earlobes. I don't have any info on the parents, so I don’t really know their genetics. My 3 hens just recently started laying, and I had 2 chicks hatch. Both were gray, but one was gray with a white beard, sadly he/she passed away. Im not sure what I can really expect for my next 3 eggs, but is there any possible way I could get a paint or white silkie?

No way of knowing since you don't know the generics of your birds.

If you're doing show quality silkies I would recommend getting a nice quality roo without leakage as that's something that may be passed down or will reappear in later generations (from experience, frustrating)

without knowing what genes your birds might have its difficult to predict. If you're wanting to get into breeding paints I'd reach back out to the white silkies breeder to ask what pen yours came from and who their parents/grandparents were. This is gonna be extra unpredictable with a (sounds like) backyard bred silkie too (hence the leakage)

Ok, so I was not able to contact the lady we bought the eggs from, but the post did say that we would either hatch splashes, or whites. Yet somehow I got a black, should I sell my roo, and get a better one, or just let it be? Im wondering if he has leakage due to the blue trait, cause she said splashes. Yet he has bronze so Im not sure what to do. I know my hens all have really good genetics, but Im not sure if they carry the recessive gene to have paints. Should I just stick to whites, or would I have a better chance at showing with paints?
I am confused…

The white ones are the hens and the black one is my roo.

Should I contact about any of these 3 or find others?

Pass on all three. Unfortunately, getting birds from unknown sources, especially if you want show quality, is a good way to introduce chronic disease and poor genetics into your flock.
