Silver and gold are sex-linked so pullets inherit their gene from their father while cockerels receive an allele from their father and their mother. Heterozygous cockerels look mostly silver but they do have a golden cast.
 
If the rooster has a gold mother he has to be heterozygous for gold so half his daughters will be gold and if crossed with a gold hen half his sons will be gold.
X hen 1 gives you gold and silver/gold sons and silver and gold daughters (with or without lemon.
X hen 2 same as hen 1
X hen 3 gives you silver and silver/gold sons and silver and gold daughters.
Thank you! This is exactly what I wanted to know

The “golden cast” you are talking about is only slightly yellow right? Like a dirty white?
