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.

∙ 12y agoBrown Leghorn Chickens lay white eggs. You can tell by the little flap of skin where the ear is. If that is white, like on the brown leghorn, the hen will lay white eggs. The Leghorn is a great hen for eggs and she will lay up to 300 eggs in a single year. 300 white eggs.

What do you call the ear lobes on a chicken?
The earlobe of a chicken is directly under their ear. When you glance at a chicken, you can't see the ear, because it's hidden under a small section of feathers. You can see the earlobe, though, because it is very prominent. Ear lobes are either red, white, or blue. See the link below for a picture of a chicken earlobe: http://www.mypetchicken.com/images/chickenPix/large/Out_GldnPlshHn_2_L.jpg In the picture above, the ear lobe is the white section on the chicken's face, to the left of the eye.
