A lady in Sweden got an albino chick. Thought that was cool, have never seen one.

Cool, my neighbor had an Albino hen a few years back.

The lady keeps updating; apparently there's two of them! This is so exciting!

Are they able to see okay with red eyes?

Are they able to see okay with red eyes?

I would think so, but maybe light sensitive. Little sunglasses for them!

I don't think the redness itself is a problem, but albino humans at least very often are visually impaired.

The lady asked that I give her credit. Her name is Patricia Mutas Mårtensson.

Apparently one of the chicks died. The other is alive and well (and appears to see and hear well).

Look at those eyes, it's like they're glowing!

One of my albino quail drowned in the waterer. First time i have seen an adult quail do that.
