Yes George. The eye does change with age. It will get darker, the colour more pronounced, and more open as they get older. That looks a nice eye George.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

All nice eyes again George, I would say they still have a bit more developing yet and will probably get brighter and stronger. As you say number 1 is definitely the weakest and for me number 4 is the strongest, are 2 and 3 the same bird mate ???

Four nice eyes George. All have a good wide inner circle and room in the iris. I think the fourth one is the best.
