I have several chicks from a white silkie rooster and a grey sizzle hen... all of the chicks look grey (they are all about 2 weeks old).
I thought I would get other colors instead of grey, is grey always dominate? White is always recessive?

Would the chicks have an recessive white gene?

I can't tell yet if any of them will have curly feathers. Is there a 50/50 chance to have silkie feathering and the curly feathering?

Thank you for your help!!

Grey/Blue is dominant, you should have hatch all black chicks too, but with low number hatches this does happen, and yes your grey chicks have recessive white in them
