I believe the saying started out as 'donkeys ears' cos they are fekk off long, and over the years has become donkeys years....

Donkeys often live for twenty-five years or more. Some have been recorded as living to the ripe old age of sixty, although a forty-year-old donkey is considered to be elderly.

"Donkey's years ago This is an example of an expression that has altered its spelling over time. 'Not for donkey's ears' means not for a very long time and refers, of course, to the length of a donkey's ears. However, they gradually stretched from the 'donkey' and turned 'ears' into 'years'. The meaning of the expression is the same, if it does make rather less sense than the original.""
