Sex-linkend colours heridity:
Most organisms, including chickens, have many autosome pairs per cell but only 1 pair of sex chromosomes.
The rooster gives half of his genetic information to a spermcell, the hen also but because she lacks a second Z chromosome, she partly donates an incomplete set which is written as "-", to an egg.
So the rooster always donates a Z and the female donates a Z or the odd partner w ("-").
That means that all offspring of the rooster always receives a Z from him.
Since hens only have one Z it always comes from their father. From their mother they get the dwarf chromosome w.
So all sex-linked traits like silver/gold and cuckoo or barred and chocolate from a hen she becamed from her father.
A hen can never give sexlinked traits to her daughters!
