UPDATE: I got a better pic 
Hi! I just acquired a few new serama hens, and I noticed after arriving home that one of them appears to have purple earlobes. The left one is darker than the right, but her wattles and comb are still bright red. She seems to be acting normally, eating/drinking, hopping on surfaces, etc. although I have heard her sneezing. She doesn’t seem to be struggling with breathing (no wheezing, no gaping beak), but I’m still worried as she came from a crowded, confined space at her seller’s establishment. Could this be a respiratory infection? Or should I expect purple eggs
?
If it does seem like a problem, any suggestions to help her feel better are welcome!
I’ve included a picture, it’s not very good because she’s a shy girl and I didn’t want to stress her further by handling her again - but you can see the color difference in her lobes.
