Totally understandable!

Everyone says white lobes but I'd say the majority of mine have yellow. Always have. Kind of like the yellow shanks they start bright then fade over their laying cycle. The boys fade somewhat too.
Mine have been free ranging so maybe that's something too. I get feed from a mill that makes their own. I can definitely see lots of corn particles in it so maybe that also plays in to it.

They have the yellow skin gene and eat grass.
It’s a balancing act to get yellow legs but white earlobes.

I think they must be secretly collecting the corn and distilling it behind the barn

I thought the yellowed earlobes were interesting too as I’ve only ever usually seen white** on Leghorns before but I guess it depends on variety of factors.

I think you’re secretly thinking of buff Orps
