White Ear Lobe

[Ralph I]

Thank you in advance for your help in advance. Our hen as a white ear lobe that we just noticed. Both ears are identical. It doesn’t look like a fungus but just white. I was going to use miconazole cream but decided to wait and see what happens. Has anyone else experienced this?

Was it red before or always white? It looks to be a normal earlobe that either a white or cream egg layer would have. I could be wrong.

There are lots of breeds that have white earlobes. Your hen looks like a brown leghorn.

It's normal for that bird. Looks to be brown Leghorn.

White ear birds lay white eggs.

I have the same breed that is a Brown Leghorn and if you look up pictures of them they are supposed to have white earlobes
All looks fine

She is a light brown leghorn, and that is normal for the breed.

I have never notice it white. They just started laying.
