How much basic genetics do you understand? Learn correct terminology first. It makes understanding explanations quite a bit easier.
The sex chromosomes are different lengths for male versus female. With humans, males are XY and females are XX. With chickens (I believe all birds, but am not 100% certain of this) males are ZZ and females are ZW.
The W chromosome is shorter than the Z chromosome, so some of the genes that occur on the Z chromosome do not occur on the W chromosome. For these genes, females only have one copy as they only have one Z chromosome, whereas males have two copies as they have two Z chromosomes.
When the birds mate and an egg becomes fertile, each parent contributes chromosomes to the egg. For the sex chromosome, the male always contributes a Z chromosome, because that is what he has. The hen, on the other hand contributes either Z or W.
The eggs to which she contributes Z become her sons (Z from father + Z from mother: ZZ: male). Those to which she contributes W become her daughters (Z from father + W from mother: ZW: female). Thus, any genes that are only on the Z chromosome are only contributed to her sons; her daughters receive only a single copy, and it comes from their father. Some of these genes are not particularly useful in determining gender of a newly hatched chick, but several are.
The S gene is one of these, and is used in creating red sex-links (also called sil-go-link). Females can only be silver or gold (the two alternatives, or alleles, of this gene). Males can have two copies of silver, two copies of gold or one copy of each.
For creating a red sex-link, you mate a white (S, aka silver, the dominant allele) hen to a red (ss, aka gold, the recessive allele) cock. The hen gives her copy of the dominant allele to her sons, and no copy to her daughters. The cock gives a copy of his recessive allele to all his offspring.
The resulting sons inherit a dominant allele from their mother and a recessive allele from their father--they will display the trait (plumage colour) inherited from their mother as it essentially overrides the gene inherited from the father.
The daughters, on the other hand inherit only the recessive allele from their father. Since it is the only copy of the gene present, it displays, and their plumage is coloured the same as their father's.
