What is this?

[savingpurple]

I am so confused. This, from what has been said on here is a pullet, but I have read on here and read in books that the color of the earlobe is the color of the egg? Right? Okay...

Here is a few of my mystery chicken. She is 3 months old. Suppose to be a white leghorn. My other white leghorn a week older has white earlobes?

here we go with pics.....

any help ? Thanks in advance! It's comb has always been so much bigger than the week older leghorn? Edited to add that his wattles are 2 X the size and color of the other week older leghorn.

Yes, I have read the same thing. A chicken with red earlobes lays brown eggs and a chicken with white ear lobes lay white eggs. Your chicken looks like a white leghorn to me and looks like a pullet.

Yeah looks pullet to me as well

I guess what I am asking is what is the part on the side of it's head that is green? I thought that was the ear lobe? No?

 

[greenbird]

Yeah that's the earlobe

She looks like a white leghorn from the head shot, a body shot would confirm.

Hey..Thanks ! That definetly cleared that up for me. So, we shall see what eggs she lays then......white, or off white??? Now she just has to get older to start laying !!

Thanks again!
