If a chicken's earlobes are white, it is likely that the chicken breed's eggs will have white eggshells.

If a chicken's earlobes are red, it is likely that the chicken breed's eggs will have brown eggshells.

This doesn't work for every breed, but it works for enough of them that it makes it easy to guess what color of eggs you might get.
