SueSteve Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 We got 2 new girls yesterday, so we are going through the settling in process!! I have noticed that the one - Isa Brown has blue/grey eyes. I have never seen a chicken with blue or grey eyes before, is this normal?

I have never seen a chicken with blue or grey eyes before, is this normal? yes it normal for youngsters when I first got my 3 from wernlas they were only 10 weeks old I think they changed by about 14 weeks. from a post I read elsewere its to stop the adult birds and other chicks pecking at the chicks eyes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueSteve Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Ahhh, thanks very much for that! The new girls seem very friendly, they are lovely. The older girls don't think so though! We haven't clipped the new ones yet, thought it would give them an advantage over the other to make a quick getaway, but now they are in the main garden while the others are in the run! The new ones are becoming more confident though, wandering around hte garden rather than staying in oneplace. This is the 4th time we have brought new chickens together, and each time we seem to do things a bit differently, seem to remember though that after the first 3 days they are pretty settled, and then as if they have always known each other after about 3 weeks.
