Actually, its "white earlobe, white eggs". The Mediterranean breeds (leghorns, minorcas, hamburgs, some others) lay white eggs- and regardless of the main color of the bird (black leghorn, buff minorca, etc.), they have white earlobes (round patch just below where you figure their ear would be if they were a normal animal). All the others lay colored eggs (even White Rocks, which are pure white). As to pecking- if you can keep them confined, use red light- blood appears black in red light, and the others won't go after it. Doesn't help much when they run outside in the daylight, however.
