Blue eyed babies

Are blue eyes normal in babies, will they change in time. We had some babies this morning and one has the prettiest blue eyes. Oh he is so pretty, a sandy color with blue eyes.

Are they nigerians or nigerian crosses? Mine are crosses and my buck throws about 80% blue eyes. They are beautiful. They will no doubt stay blue.

Yes, blue eyes are normal. They are actually a dominant trait in the breeds that have them.

I'll take him off your hands - I have two super cute LaMacha ADGA registered doelings that would make lovely future partners for him. I would love to have some blue eyed genes in the mix

My Nigerians most of them have blue eyes so we get mostly blue eyed babies. Had 2 this year with brown eyes but their momma's are mini nubians with brown eyes.
We too love the blue eyes, but I just love them all anyways!
