Question from a Newbie Pilgrim Owner

[AKMommaF8]

Hi y'all! I recently (maybe 3 wks ago?) bought a 2 yr old Pilgrim hen & a 3.5 week gosling (who it turns out is an unrelated gander, yay!)

My question is, at what age do the males eyes turn blue? They may very well be right now, but since my eyesight is poor & he's still a bit skittish, all I can tell is his eyes look dark.

TIA!

I don't know yet. Mine are around 7 weeks and I haven't noticed any blue eyes on my gander yet.

It says mature gander so that’s coming later.
