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?

Perfectly normal.

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.

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.

All good.

It happens. She's looking healthy.

If you are concerned that this may be fungal - then I'd suggest popping a wee dab of antifungal creme on her lobe. And might pay to do a thorough check all over her (and your other chickens) to see if there aren't any other areas of concern that aren't as obviously visible. As with all things fungal (or suspected fungal) you will need to exercise good hygiene to limit the spread.

Looks normal to me

It looks a little dry to me, but usually that's normal. Where are you located? Are you going through a seasonal change? She's 9 months old? Is she experiencing a light molt by any chance?

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

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.
