Java Genetics

My Mom mentioned that she thought she heard babies chirping and sure enough, there are three little Java hatchlings. One has black eyes and two have red eyes. Mama is pied and Papa is split to pied. This is the pair's fourth clutch, and every single time they've produced pied black eyed babies, with the exception of one other the, when in the first clutch there was a red eyed hatchling, which died a few days after hatching, so he never got feathers. What color could these red eyed babies be? I've heard of red eyes in white and fawn, but never pied birds.
