How common are blue eyes?

[jimdanforth]

We just started building our herd, and obtained a very nice blue-eyed pygmy buck. Since I have never seen another, I trust they are uncommon? Are blue eyes more valuable or just something unique?

I wouldn't say that blue eyes are rare, but they're definitely not as common as brown eyes. I have a blue eyed wether and doeling - their father had blue eyes. In my area, blue eyes don't fetch any more $$ than brown eyes, but to some people they are more desirable.

I heard the same...not so uncommon as people think...Nice though!

If it has blue eyes...it's not a Pygmy

They're not that uncommon. We have loads of them every year

That's what I was thinking.

I have a young blue-eyed buck that came from brown eyed parents.

Yep, we have several blue eyed kids each year.
