I can't just recall ever seeing a hen with white ear lobes. You can
extend your rule of thumb to Chinese bantams--they are white birds but
with bright blue wattles IIRC and I think their egg shells are blue.


If you are talking about silkies, our silkies always laid
white eggs. They had white feathers and black skin.


I think you're right, and it's Indian mynahs with the blue egg shells.

Now there's an idea ..... :-)
