If my lemon hen (diluted gold) x silver rooster had a cockerel, could I get some lemon chicks if I then bred that cockerel back to his mom (lemon hen)?
Probably yes.

And also if hen 3 (silver dad x golden mom) had a cockerel with a silver rooster, would that cockerel carry gold? Or would it be random whether or not he carries gold?
A hen is either gold or silver. She cannot have both genes. You formerly said hen 3 looks silver, and you say she has a silver dad. So I'm pretty sure hen 3 is silver. She does not have any gold genes, so she cannot give any to her chicks.

If the silver rooster is pure for silver (no gold gene), then all chicks must be silver, with no chance of carrying gold.

If the silver rooster carries a gold gene, then he could give it to his chicks, which would mean some sons carry gold and some daughters are gold.

So it will depend on the genetics of that silver rooster.
