Blue Earlobes in Chickens : Any Breed Besides Silkie

[sjango]

Are Silkies the only breed known to have blue earlobes? Are there some obscure landraces that also have blue earlobes?

Mosaics. Not a recognized breed, though they do have certain traits, like hatchery Easter eggers.

I see. I was thinking since Silkies are a rather old breed from Asia, some other Asian breeds might have the blue earlobes, but I've never really heard of any.

Sebrights - although not as bright or obvious as the silkies

I had no idea Sebrights also had blue earlobes! Is that part of their standard?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

I have a mix who has them. Not sure where she got them from though

 

[sjango]

I wonder where Easter Eggers usually get the blue earblobes if only Silkies and Sebrights tend to have them?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

I think my pheonixes might have some too now that I think of them

Interesting!
