Blue Eyed Buff Orpington Chick??

[Dixie0831]

I have a 7 week old Buff Orpington chick with blue eyes. Both eyes look the same, no cloudiness or differences in pupil size, and she appears to act normal (running, jumping, eating, drinking) with the exception of being smaller than the other 7 chickens I have of the same age -- she was the runt even as a newborn chick.

Is this eye color something she may grow out of or is it indicative of a larger problem?

I don't see anything wrong with her eyes. They may change to Bay (reddish orange) as she gets older.

Orpingtons have green eyes typically, so the slight blue color is probably just a genetic mutation of the green. Nothing to worry about. She is so pretty!
