sheesh-- I love the one about brown eggs from brown chickens and white eggs from white chickens. It would be like white milk from white cows and chocolate milk from brown cows... LOL

Any one read the comments under the article? I did and I still have a problem with their thinking that the color of the ear/ lobes tells what color the eggs are going to be since I have a white hen with white ears/ lobes and she lays some the most awesome tasting BROWN eggs in the world IMO.

these pics are of her at approx. 3-4 months old.

Actually for a lot of breeds, the earlobe does tell the egg color. ;o)

red lobes + brown eggs, and white lobes + white eggs...except for some breeds and I thihk Silkies and EEs. (sounds like you have an exception) REALLY pretty white hen too.
