If Euro yellow, the mutation is sexlinked dominant so the yellow back being male will give yellow hens.
If it was the opposite you would get sf cock birds and normal hens.
Sometimes times but rarely you can
get single factor cocks and hens.

Inheritance is different in each.
Can you put a pic of the parents up?
