I have a hen thats goldenXsilver and it's still very silver.

Gold is 1 part silver 1 part red. So a gold by silver mating will give you silvers. Silver is sex linked , so parental color/sex determines the chick/sex/color

I was always told it was sexlinked but never understood it. So if I crossed a gold(c) with a silver(h) will the gold/dark chick be cockerel and silver/light a pullet?

Basically flip the sex.
Its a little more to it than that. But barred is sex link too works just like it.
If you use a silver hen, her males will be silver.

In a gold case, gold is already half silver so youll get more silver off that cross than a red cross.

Once i have a second, ill post all the combos for you

Silver hen x red male = gold
Silver hen x gold male = both in both sexes

Silver male x gold = same
Silver male x red = gold male and silver hens

here is a then and now picture of my favorite pulley so far. Top picture she is only 5 months old and bottom is from today at about 8 months old. Very small still. He tail feathers dried and fell at about 6 months old. Anybody know why? Her new feathers (the 2 middle main sickles) are still in full blood but haven't exceeded length of the rest of tail feathers.

Thats just the molt from juvie to adult is all. Most do it around 6-9 months
