The egg color and the earlobe color do not match,rather it is possible to predict the color of a hen's eggs by looking ather earlobes. In general, the darker the earlobes, the darker the eggs.Hens with white earlobes usually produce white eggs.

For example, chickens of the Silkiebreed often have blue or black earlobes and they generally lay whiteeggs.
