Silkie question- egg colors

They do, but it's more of a light sky/metallic blue, not a turquoise.

I guess I should clarify, since there seems to be some confusion with my post.

You WANT your Silkies to have the blue/turquoise ear lobes. It is supposed to be that way, and anything other than blue/turquoise is a disqualification or points off in a show.

So blue/turqoise ear lobes in Silkies is a GOOD thing.

What I meant, was that I had never heard the white ear lobes means white eggs, and red ear lobes means brown eggs. I had never heard that before.

Ok so I have 6 chickens, 3 RR, 2 white leghorns, 1 white silkie. I got six eggs today 3 brown 2 white and one a very light greenish that's smaller from the rest. I also have 3 ducks 2 of which are girls. I'm trying to find out if the greenish is from my silkie? Or from a duck...

My duck never laid anything but a pure white egg. How big was it? Duck gigs ar significantly bigger, pus ducks lay their eggs awa from the chickens in a secluded spot and cover them for safety.

Sorry for the typos I have such problems with my iPad.

I have a Silkie hen that is white and lays white eggs. Recently, I've been getting a beige colored, smaller egg in the laying box. I'm wondering if one of the other hens are now laying or did the egg color change? I have a white Silkie hen, a cartridge colored and a grey colored young chicken we can't determine sex yet.
The new egg is on the left.

I have a silkie question! Every time I hold/touch my silkies wings, it peeps super loudly, not its normal, quiet sounds. Also, it has a few matted feathers on both its wing, which is strange because silkie have "fur" not feathers! I think it might have been in a fight when it was younger. Any ideas?
