Explain? If roosters have ZZ and hens have ZW, I guess I don't understand your objection.
It's the same with humans, but the other way around, men having the xy and not being able to produce a son etc ....

Oh ok lol, my badI meant no , I didnt get new hens. Not no to the other stuff.
I think after looking at various pictures of "chipmunk chicks" that her light yellow colour was closest to what silver duckwing chicks look like. Her patterns also seem to match up with hens with silver duckwing colouring, minus the base underneath (?). I'm not sure if that's possible or, if it is, what it would look like on the Genetics Calculator. Thoughts?Ok, if her main body color was yellow, she's a wheaten based bird and she has a patterning gene, but I can't say more than that...
What causes blue earlobes in D’Uccles?
Will it pass on through generations?Probably about the same thing that causes them in Silkies: "white" earlobes on a bird with dark skin. The dark skin sort of shows through the white earlobe. I've also seen green earlobes on some Easter Egger mixes (willow/green skin, white earlobe.)
Will it pass on through generations?
Ok thanks, he is light skinnedIf it is just caused by having white earlobes and dark skin, then yes it will be passed on.
I don't think anyone has figured out quite how the genetics of white vs. red earlobes work, but they are definitely inherited in some way (proven by the fact that some breeds have just the one, some have just the other, and mixes can have red or white or some combination.)
The dark skin is known to be caused by a particular gene: a recessive on the Z sex chromosome. Inheritance is the same as any of the other recessives on that chromosome (gold, or not-barred, fast feathering, chocolate.) Light skin is the dominant trait, like silver or barring or slow feathering or not-chocolate.
