Chicken ear has white on it

[Mazimm1]

I'm a new chicken owner. Got them in March. Noticed white on our chicken's ear. Any idea if this is bad?

That usually indicates the color of egg so the hen could lay a white egg. Or brown. But with EE their ear lobes are greenish blue

IN some breeds this is quite normal The earlobe can have white and blue, and in some breeds can be dark. Here's a sebright bantam with the turquoise ear.

Perfectly normal.

White earlobes are completely normal and natural.
A chicken with completely white earlobes will usually lay white eggs, but she does not have completely white ones, so she will probably just lay brown.

Completely normal, nothing to worry about.

It's not a white earlobe, it's a red earlobe. It looks like there is possibly white fungus or something growing on it. I posted a picture.

Did you zoom in. Just want to make sure because most people are misunderstanding. It's not a white earlobe, it's a red earlobe. It looks like there is possibly white fungus or something growing on it. I posted a picture.
