I have 2 crested pure white society chicks and just noticed that one have a different eye color then the other six chicks. All have dark brown/black eyes but this one seems to have dark pink/red eyes..... Is this normal??

I believe that one is an Ino. Albino Society finch.

I believe Sharon is right AND it's crested!!?
Lucky You!! You have two of my dream birds there

Have a look at this link

Would it be correct to say that the albino shouldn't be bred?

This is from Garrie landry's website on societies:

Here are two photos of the albino in front and its twin sibling behind it.
Its hard to see the eye color but it is totally different then then others.

If you click on the second photo and enlarge it you can see the pink/red eye color......

Congratulations on what I gather is a fairly rare mutation! Really beautiful Sherry! They are so WHITE! Lovely!

My crested fawn baby has red/pink eyes too, what does that mean?

Lets hope we can get an answer from some on here. I really don't know what it means so far it sounds like its rare.
The link regarding INO's shows white Society with cream colors mixed with the white.
It's very interesting.

Waxbill Lover can you post a photo of your bird I would love to see it?

If you could post a pick of the baby it may be easier to identify. I am thinking that it is probably a creamino.
As for those surprise Ino babies, I have had 4 so far from the same pair that had always given me pieds before.
Of course I am now down to 1, Jacqui and Liz have ever so kindly given homes to the 3 others

Hey guys,

I can't seem to get a good picture with my iphone. I'll try and take one with the bigger camera, however I don't know if it'll turn out (and I'm terrible with trying to re-size the picture to get it to upload on finch forum!)

Flower (what i've named the little crested cremino) was born handicapped. He/She is missing amost an entire right wing, and 2 of her toes didn't grow in on her right foot. Flower still being fed by parents in the aviary (on the floor because he/she can't maintain balance on the perches) but I'm hopeful Flower will be weaneed soon, so I can move him/her to a more comfortable cage to get around in. Such a tame little darling. Loves to come out and just hang out with me on my finger or my shoulder.

Congrats!! Beautiful birds!
