My father said that the chicken that has white earlobes lays
white egg shell. I thought it was true because some white earlobe’s chicken
lays white eggs. For example, the famous chicken layer hen Leghorn which has
white earlobes lays white shell eggs.
I also read that some white earlobes chicken lays white eggs
such as houdan, campine, and else. I thought that my father was right. Then, I search
some article chicken to make sure. I remember that the red Jungle fowl (Gallus
Gallus) does not lay white eggs but brown. The red jungle fowl also has white
earlobs.
The earlobes color of the chicken is not same to the egg
shelled, meaning it is not a sign of the egg shell. The chicken that lays brown
eggs has no brown earlobes. The Ameraucana that lays green or blue shelled egg
also has no blue or green earlobes.
In my country people do not like white egg shell. They are prefer
to brown color than the whte. That is why chicken farmer in my country do not raise white leghorn. They raise Hissex or Rhode Island as the layer hen.
