Blue eyed chicken breed genetics

[chickenlover22345]

Those are young birds, not grown ones. They're like human babies, their eye color changes with age.

What do broilers look like as an adult?

A white bird with orange eyes

If you want birds with different shades of blue eyes such as White, or Pearl, get some genuine Oriental Gamefowls, like Indian Malays, or some other Aseel variety.
Their eye color is Recessive.

Orientals also have the Normal Bay eye color which is pretty much orange. They also can have yellow eyes, which is bay without the red to give to bay/orange appearance.

Pearl eyes (which aren’t quite blue but are much lighter than usual eyes) are a recessive gene found in breeds like Cornish, Shamo, Malay, and Asil. That said it usually expresses as a pale yellow or greenish.

Got some off the internet. Are broilers more likely to have blue eyes than other chickens?

Thats a juvenile chicken which explains the eye color. They grow at a faster rate but still are juvenile.

Blue eyes is a special case. Neither chicken or us have real blue eyes. We are unable to make a blue pigment so there is not a gen for that. Blue is the absence of brown pigment.
