Silly question I'm sure... but what color ear lobes should a SLW have.
I have this one pullet that has yellow, but most, if not all the rest have a shade of red/pink. Take a peek. They are obviously hatchery stock. They are almost 13 weeks old.

The Ithaca chart sayeth red.

I have my first two SLWs this year and their earlobes are red. Hope this helps!

Aren't they pretty? I really like their coloring...mine are "just" hatchery stock too.
 
Should be red. The bird has a circulation problem, blood vessels are not getting blood to the tissues.
