Do white chickens lay a brown egg periodacally?
The feather color of a chicken does not affect the color of the eggs she lays. It is the breed of the hen that determines the egg color. A chicken that lays white eggs does not drop a brown egg every now and then either, a white egg layer will always lay white eggs. I have several white Araucana hens who lay Lavender colored eggs and a Black Cochin hen who lays light brown eggs (not black eggs)
What color ear lobes do roosters have?
The color of the earlobes is a general indication of the color of the eggs. A hen with red lobes usually will lay brown eggs. The exception to this would be the Easter Egger, Ameraucana, and Araucana breeds. They usually have red lobes but will lay eggs in colors ranging from khaki green (army eggs), sky blue, pink tinted, to the occasional lavender tinted beauty. This is all due to Genetics. The shell color is a result of pigments that are secreted by the hen and deposited on the eggshell's outer layers during formation in the chicken's oviduct. Brown eggs are from protoporphyrin, a breakdown product of hemoglobin. Blue and green hues are caused by the pigment oocyanin, a by-product of bile formation.
