My chicken, Flo, has white inner ear flap things. She’s had them forever (well around the 6 months of her life so far) and seems fine in herself. Her fellow friends have normal looking ear flappy bits, all red and flappy. Flo though has a flat ear-flap, with a raised outter edge and a white center. The white part almost looks powdery.
What do you think ?
Flo has white ears
I heard that the colour of a chicken’s earlobes determines the colour of the eggs they will lay, as it’s controlled by the same gene - does Flo lay white eggs?

Yes, usually it does Rachel, but it is not written in stone. That bird pictured doesn’t look like an Isa Brown, more like a RIR to me. Don’t worry about the white earlobes, it is just pigmentation, and Isa Browns typically have red lobes, and lay brown eggs.
