Chickens earlobes turning white?

Nothing ended up happening. All of them seem healthy and I still have them 2 years later. I still notice it every once in a while on some birds but I think that it's just some kind of bruising from pecking. I never figured anything else out about it.
My rooster too has the same problem. It has white earlobe but it is healthy. It developed it 5 months ago. The white earlobe seems to be symmetrical on both sides.. so it is not a fungal infection or disease right

Photos?
Just a guess if it's symmetrical, then it's color leakage and not fungal infection.
 
Thank you for posting your update. I have exactly the same scenario happening. I also read that it could be from molting. I will wait and see.
 
Does anyone know whats going on with these chickens? I assumed at first that it was like some kind of bruising because i had just introduced some new chickens (who where quarantined) into the flock, they have been trying to establish their pecking order and i saw one chicken grab on to that spot. Now both of the different flocks have it and i'm worried that its something to worry about.

I am new to having chickens but I thought I watched a YouTube video about being egg bound and getting white earlobes. Search and see if you find that video. He didn't give a bath he quarantine them and try to make a relax environment to help the chicken.
