ear lobe color?

there are a few exceptions to this rule... but I don't know which they are.. anyone?


John Henderson writes
"Among the red ear-lobed hens that lay white eggs are some French breeds ( Crevecoeurs, Houdans), some of the bantams (booted, Japanese), and some American varieties that were developed in the 20th century that are among the rarest breeds in the world (Lamona, Holland).

Silkies are another exception to the rule, as they have turquoise earlobes and lay light tinted eggs. Araucanas and Ameraucanas don’t fit either, since they lay green eggs, but don’t have green ear lobes."
