Spitzhaubens usually have slate shanks with white soles. Is that what yours has?So my Spitzhauben has white skin and blue ear lobes? How does that happen?
There are at least four genes that can be involved in earlobe color for chickens:
white earlobes vs. red earlobes (although "white" earlobes can actually be yellow, green, blue, or other colors.)
white skin vs. yellow skin (little effect on earlobe color, but chickens with yellow skin can sometimes show yellow in earlobes that would otherwise be white.)
light skin vs. dark skin (especially visible on the shanks of the legs. White and yellow are "light," while slate and willow and black are "dark." Any of the "dark" options can have an effect on the earlobe color. I've seen willow shanks with greenish earlobes, slate shanks can go with blueish earlobes, and of course Silkies are known for having black skin and blue earlobes. Slate shanks can have white soles, and willow shanks can have yellow soles.)
fibromelanistic vs. normal (fibromelanistic is the black in Silkies and Ayam Cemanis. When paired with the genes for white earlobes, this causes blue lobes like in Silkies. The gene that causes light skin will block fibromelanosis.)
Spitzhaubens are "supposed" to have the genes for white earlobes (not red), for white skin (not yellow), for dark skin (slate shanks not white ones), and no fibromelanosis. To increase blue earlobes, crossing in a breed with fibromelanosis and "white" earlobes would be the best choice: maybe a Silkie, or maybe one of the black-skinned hatchery hybrids that are descended from Silkies.
