Hello from NY

[Steele creek]

Hello. I'm new to raising chickens. Was given 3 brown leg horns in August that turned a year old this passed September.one of my hens earlobes has changed from white to yellow. Would that be something that happens during molting?

Hope the links redsoxs has given you help out...I'm not familiar with lobes changing like that.

Good luck and thanks for joining us!

Welcome to BYC. I never heard of changing ear color. Maybe she thought yellow would go better with earrings.

Sorry just kidding, think I need more sleep.
