Eye color changes?

[ethingtonart]

I recently acquired five French Black Copper Marans who are each about 11 weeks old. I am curious about their eye color because they have green colored eyes, but I know the standard calls for reddish bay eyes. By all accounts they are from a reputable breeder, so I was wondering if their eye color will change as they age like human babies do?
I looked very closely this morning, and it could be my imagination, but I think I'm seeing tiny reddish slivers forming in my cockerel's eyes.
Just wondering! Thanks!

Hi they correct color is "pumpkin".....Mine didn't change eye color, so I'm sorry I cannot help you.

I would suggest you contact the seller and ask them what they experienced.

I love my BCM's.....I hope you enjoy yours as well!..........

Most birds with Reddish Bay eye color Have green eyes as young ones. They will change as they get older.


Bargin, I have never heard of the term "Pumpkin", And don't belive it to be correct.

So the small amount of red I'm seeing in my cockerel will continue to take over. Cool.

Curiosity always gets the best of me, so I have to ask... Do many other eye colors in chickens develop over a long period of time, or is it only common in a green to reddish bay eye color?

Thanks you guys!!
