What Colors Can Chickens' Eyes Be?

[ChickenGirl555]

I noticed that all of my chickens have orange eyes. Is this a breed thing, or can they not have any other color? If they can have other colors, what colors can they have?

There are green eyes on Buff orpingtons, gorgeous..

Young pullets and young cockerels have green eyes.

My silkies have dark brown to red-brown eyes, the buff orpington has orange eyes with hints of green, my lightest colored Easter Egger has golden brown eyes, and the rest have medium brown eyes.

Most of ours have yellow/gold eyes and like two have brown. Paint has the prettiest eyes of the flock though.

There are a wide variety of shades in different breeds, ages, etc.
The most common is orange and brown, in regular sized fowl, and dark brown-y eyes for a lot of bantams. Other possible colors are light brown, (almondy), reddish, yellow, and grey. I have also had a few chicks of different breeds with beautiful green eyes! A couple turned to orange when they got older, but if you're lucky, some breeds do keep the green!
There are also some with super dark brown, so they look black.
