Egg-Xactly, Part 2

Chickens Have Earlobes? And They Tell Egg Color!

Return to Episode: Egg-Xactly, Part 2

So we were making a couple of episodes on eggs with the Braswell Family in North Carolina, who’ve been doing that for generations, when Trey Braswell starts petting a chicken and explaining about the earlobes.

To which everyone in the room said, “What?!?” Yes, chickens have earlobes.

They’re right where you’d think they’d be, you’ve just never looked before.

What’s more, the color of the earlobe tells you what color egg that chicken lays! Watch on for more, and don’t miss the whole two-part episode “Egg-Xactly” on our YouTube channel.
