Thank you

Austrlorp and possibly Lavander Orpington, ONLY White EARED hens lay white eggs, is it possible the eggs are very light brown?

Clear pictures in daylight needed to be sure. Please include comb, legs and underside of feet.

Agree with @featheredplanets we need better pics.

That isn't really true, but is a good rule of thumb for most common purebred chickens. Earlobe color has no effect on egg color.

I have to agree with @annageckos on this. I have a gold spangled hamburg, that lays very slightly tinted cream colored eggs. She has white ears and the breed is supposed to lay white. Her counterpart, my silver spangled hamburg lays the purest of white eggs.

@Frazzemrat1 @annageckos Is there any breed of chicken with red ears that lays white eggs? I'm just curious
