Red hen with white lobes brown egg?

[TexasSam]

I have A red hen with white lobes but she lays brown eggs does this happen often? From what I have learned white lobes means white eggs.

Sure. I have leghorn / EE crosses that have white lobes, but lay blue eggs, and other crosses that have white lobes and lay brown (albeit very light brown) eggs

Ear color doesn't tell you the egg color - a chicken's genetics are what give them their color. I had a rooster whose hens of the same breed laid white eggs, her mother laid brown eggs. My new hen, the second generation of a white layer and a brown layer, lays a dusty egg.

She looks like a Rhode Island Red, or at least a Production Red, and they generally lay brown eggs due to their genes.

I have birds with white ear lobes. These are crosses with EE. Original introduction of white lobes came from RCBL about 4 generations ago. These GD and GGD gals lay blue/green or tan eggs.
