I'll need to check my Magpie, but I know some of my whitehead Muscovy have blue eyes. Very pretty!

Oh yeah, duck eyes like baby eyes will be blue when they’re little and normally turn brown

So far they’re still a piercing blue/white, while the rest are brown! I’ll give another update photo in a second

I wanted to update everyone incase they’re curious. First off, she ended up getting angel wing after this post. So she wore a little shirt for 5-6 days to hold the wing in place. Here is a photo of her when we put the shirt on. You can see her eye color pretty well! She is doing good now, definitely has had it rough though compared to her siblings.

Alright, another update! Miss Maggie is actually a MISTER Maggie!! His tail feather curled up a few days ago! His eyes are still blue/white (a more normal blue in the shade, like in attached photo). The whites of his eyes are still pink/red, while the others are…well…white. I read today that two Magpies can produce a pure white Magpie. However, he is not pure white. So I’m not sure if that’s the case. Im also not sure if that would explain his eyes?
As for the angel wing I mentioned in the last update, that didn’t go so well. We put a makeshift binder on (a tshirt sleeve) and left it on for 5-6 days. It helped a little, but the wing is definitely still wonky. It doesn’t seem to both him though, which is all I care about. Regardless, he is overall doing great! And is the first to come get food from you lol.

Here is an update on all the others as well! Still have all 10! And everyone seems to be doing amazing. They are staying in our garage now in their permanent house. When the snow/ice is officially done, we will be moving the house outside and putting the roof on & what not. We don’t want to move them outside & immediately have a snow storm roll in. So we’re fine with waiting. Here’s some photos!

My recent ducks also have that, it’s not their eye white, but the inner corner of their eyes, it’s just extra big on mine and yours for some reason

I wonder why? It does seem to be the eye white when I look at it because you can see it no matter where on his eyeballs you look. But I’ll have to pay attention closer next time they’re out in the sun! Not that it matters I’m just curious now
