i am not saying that this is the case but some might look at the white fluff of little feathers on hens ear lobes and think its a dq but its not as long as the lobes are red its ok .... point is ear lobes should to be red ..... white would be a problem and should be culled i think

I might have been looking at the feathers. When they come home this evening, Ill grab one and see if I can see what color the lobes are; I might have been wrong.

Feathers don't count, the lobe itself should be red.

I'm wanting to set some eggs from the Presley/Henry line. Does anyone have some available?

thats what i thoughthalo but i dont try to tell someone what they seee with there eyes ,,, when i first started with wheatens i thought the same thing and wondered why they had white ear lobes ,
someone pointed out i was looking at the ear fluff or white dotte and not at the red lobe near it , easy mistake . i made it my self some time ago
red is the way we want it

Interesting, someone complained this thread doesn't have enough photos, but in all irony it is titled as a "Discussion Thread."

But, to appease, I have some photos of my Blue Wheaten more recently. . . (although not the best. I blame our absolute lack of good sunlight) He has red earlobes, all my pullets have red earlobes. And, although the photos seem deceiving. . . He DOES have white fluff at the base of his tail, it's just very well hidden. I'll be very honest - I have Wheatens with white fluff. No denying here.
