A super eye George. A very wide inner circle, serrated and an area of dark shading between 6 & 9 o’clock. There are a lot of lines in the inner circle. The circle of colouration is a violet with a lot of graining. The iris is a dark red with plenty of room. I think this should breed well George.

A very similar eye George. Should have bred well. What did you get from her?

🤣😂 I recognise that shop 🤔😉

Both very nice hens George, I can see how you'd mix them up.
I like a bit of inbreeding like that, I hope they do well for you mate.
