Hybrids are the exception as the colour of their eggs is just the final coating on them and it washes off -their lobes can be any colour. Cream Legbars produce shells that are coloured right through as it is a genetic colouration and their lobes are blue. Same as Leghorns which are white and white.

....and that's something else I didn't know!

I think the colouring on many (all?) brown eggs is on the outside and washes off if you get the egg while it's still wet or you really scrub it.

As Chris says, the blue of a Legbar egg is in the shell, it goes all the way through.

Speckled ears?  I've yet to see that.


Don't humans pass on ear attributes too, something to do with lobes or no lobes?
