What are these white spots on this Roos wattles? He has had this ever since I can remember. It is smooth and does not rub off. It is on both sides. Out of 70 plus chickens this is the only one that has this. He is about a year old.

That's his earlobe. Some chickens have white ear lobs, generally white egg layers have white tinted ear lobes.

My hen has these behind her ear lobes. I think its just a coloration. Doesnt look icky.
 
He is suppose to be an Araucana. So I wonder what he is mixed with?
 
sometimes even purebred chickens have white ear lobs...that is one of the things breeders cull for (if they are not supposed to have white ear lobs)..it does not mean that the are not pure it is just something that appears in some chickens.
