You keep on posting George, I enjoy seeing your pictures mate 👍 I don't have Andy's eye for eyes but in my humble opinion the first eye is the weakest and my least favourite but the eye of your old blue cock is a cracking eye although you can see his age in it, if you do manage to get some youngsters from them then hopefully they will compliment each other nicely.
In the next set of pics both are very nice but again the second eye is my favourite and I think the stronger eye, personally for me I try not to pair up birds for breeding with the same colour eyes but that's just my preference and isn't based on anything scientific.
Again a nice looking pair of birds George, I hope they do well for you mate.

I never get sick of pictures of peoples pigeons and lofts.
The eyes, I don't know much about, other than mine all seem to one on each side of their heads, but the pigeons are looking very well, George.
Lovely pair of Blues.

Some nice eyes George. Not so keen on the first one, but mainly just due to the colour and the inner circle not being quite so wide. The iris is more broken in this one which is good for breeding. The yellow of the circle of colouration can be seen easily throughout the eye under the orange iris. The second one isn’t quite such a good photo but you can still see how good the inner circle is. It looks wide and deep and looks just like a washer has been placed over the pupil. The iris is a bit fuller and showing a bit of age but plenty of room in the hen to absorb a bit of that.
The second pair of eyes are a pair of violets. Both similar but also both with differences that could compliment each other. The first has a more broken iris but the second has the better inner circle. A nice pair of eyes that go well together.

It is a nice eye George. A nice old gold with a very good inner circle. You can see it’s the eye of an older pigeon but you can also still see the quality of it.
