If he's just a leaky black, then most chicks from Buff Silkies will be Black with leakage.
Females Black with Silver Leakage, or Black Males with Golden Leakage.

Black X White(Dominant), could produce paints, or just black, & white offspring.

Gray Silkies are usually Silver Partridge, so if he is indeed Melanized Silver Partridge then most of his offspring will be to. But if he's Leaky Black, his offspring will be also.

But if he's black split for partridge, some offspring will be Silver Partridge(Grays).
