Yes. The color of feathers makes no difference in number of eggs laid. The breed determines the potential number of eggs per year but good nutrition and general health will often result in far better than average egg production.

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.

Why a leghorn will not lay eggs?

A Leghorn chicken may not lay eggs due to several factors, including age, health, and environmental conditions. Young hens typically start laying eggs around 5 to 6 months old, so younger birds might not be ready yet. Additionally, stress, inadequate nutrition, or changes in light exposure can impact their laying cycle. If a Leghorn is experiencing any of these issues, it may temporarily stop laying eggs.

What was the name of the old cartoon chicken who couldn't lay any eggs?

Totally a guess here: you may be thinking of Miss Prissy, one of the characters in a Foghorn Leghorn cartoon (Lovelorn Leghorn). Miss Prissy was an old maid character; she didn't lay any eggs because she never had any, ahem, "gentlemen callers" (as a Tennessee Williams character might say).(In actuality, hens lay eggs anyway. Rooster involvement is only required for fertilized eggs.)
