Well years ago i asked about a splash of white being on a peacocks eye feather rather than the entire eye being white and i was told by many many folks here that my birds was a white eyed, IMO i did not think he was cause his eyes only had a splash of white I thought the eye would have more...
Noticed the same thing here and i think what has happened is my boy has more feathers this year than last and not as many of the new ones came in white eyes, my male only has one white eyed gene so not all his train feathers have the white eyes .
