What would the offspring look like if I bred a chocolate cuckoo silkie roo to a solid chocolate hen? Would all the offspring be chocolate cuckoos? Or would they be sexlinked because of the barring gene?

Not sex linked. For that the female would need to be cuckoo and the male not.
As to what your cross would produce it depends if he has one barring gene or two.
If two all chicks would be cuckoo although the cockerels would only have one barring gene. If your rooster only has one you'd average half cuckoo and half solid.
