What colour should ear lobes be? or do different breeds differ?

Differing breeds have differing coloured ear lobes

Hi EC

Yes the lobes vary in colour dependent on the breed.

I once read that egg shell colour was the same as the lobe on each bird :?
Although I had a brown lobed bird that laid very pale eggies so not sure if it stands true

So, is it ok for my columbine cross (who looks suspiciously like a cream legbar) to have a bluey/green tint to hers?

cos you'll get blue eggs??

My minorcas have big white ears and do lay lovely white eggs. I didn't even know chickens had earlobes before I got them!!

Yes indeed, Blue eggs!!!!!

I was told by the breeder that there was a 70% chance of getting blue/green eggs. Or they would be cream. So here's hoping!!
