Red Eyed Baby Pigeon

[wings]

I have bred loads of red eyed young birds in my fancy pigeon days-this will not be an albino -I think that would be a one in a million chance.

 

The only colour that throws pink eyes in youngsters (and the pink goes away by 10 days) is the colour brown, and its recessive Khaki. Brown can appear in a variety of shades, and can be confused with silver-likewise khaki is often confused with cream.

If neither of the parents are Khaki or brown, then the cock bird will be carrying one of these colours.

As these are the most recessive of the different colour groups, the the youngster will almost certainly be a hen.

 

If the pink stays in the eye then you have an albino, but i would be surprised.

Hi Neil I have taken some more pictures and indeed its feathering is turning brown/khaki. I'll try and post one.
