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.

food has nothing to do with shell colour....


Pretty much what I think, unless there are dyes that are now added to
some prepared pellets for the purpose of colouring the shells.
