Purple Ear

[Bharpo]

This 3 month old Roo is out of a pure WL that I bred to my cross breed BCM/ BO, there were 3 roos 2 of which carried this purple ear. Maybe I just have never noticed this before but does anyone know how common this is of these 3 breeds ? Is it a recessive or dominant trait ?

I do have more pics of this guy in my public gallery.

What is WL ?

Got to love the made up abbreviations on BYC.
WL could stand for about anything.

White Leghorn
White Langshan
White Luikse Vechter
White La Fleche
etc. etc.

I guess no one knows anything about the purple ear ?

I noticed our Buff Orpington has he right ear swollen and colored purple, could this be from being pecked? I really dont think she is high on the pecking order, the left ear looks just fine nice and red.
