Non-blue Earlobes on Show Silkies

[Chicks 'n ducks]

Hello all,
I have 4, 5 week old silkies from an extremely good breeder (Kate Morreale) bought as hatching eggs. As of now they do not have blue ear lobes at all-- They are just the color of the bird's skin. And yes, I am positive I am looking in the right place. I somehow cannot remember at all if my current silkies, whom all have nice turquoise earlobes, had that from birth or they grew into it. Will these birds get blue earlobes as they mature, or is what I see what I get?

No silkies hatch with blue earlobes, the colour gradually comes in as they mature

I had silkies years ago and never paid attention to when their earlobes appeared turquoise but I purchased 3, two week old silkies last summer and noticed that they didn't appear to have turquoise earlobes. I was worried about that and have been checking regularly to see if they turned turquoise. I am happy to report that they are now 5 months old and they have beautiful turquoise earlobes...finally! Whew! I was worried.

The earlobes (for mine) didn't grow until 18 or so weeks old. Sometimes they just aren't noticeable at all even full grown. I have some that are completely pure bred but yet their earlobes don't show.
