Thank you for your comment!! I've heard about birds' eye colors changing, I was just concerned because it's only part of her eye, but I think you're right in that it's probably heterochromia!
No worries at all! And I don't think you can remove it, but it's totally okay!
My rooster got his oblong pupil after he got beat up on.His eye was swelled shut and after it opened i noticed it changed to oblongHello all, it’s my first time posting on here! I’m relatively new to keeping backyard chickens, and right now I have two five-week old silkie chicks. I noticed that my white silkie, Spark, has odd coloring in both of her (or his) eyes. The other chick in the brooder has ‘normal’ eyes. I’m wondering if Spark has segmented heterochromia, or Ocular marek’s disease or maybe something else entirely. If the general opinion is that it’s Marek’s, should I vaccinate the rest of my flock (I have not introduced the chicks to my other eleven week old Buff Orpington pullets) just in case? Also, not sure if this is relevant, but Spark has a lot of energy and is always knocking over trays of food, distress calling if temp is slightly off or food level is low (while the other chicks are content), and is just generally pretty chaotic. She’s good with being handled, though. I attached some pictures of her eyes, any advice would be appreciated!!View attachment 4009458View attachment 4009459View attachment 4009460
His eye has continued to change color; the ration of brown to light is the same, but the other half is now a deep orange. I don't think it's an injury, I think he's just got heterochromia
I'll post pictures sometime.
I think so
