YES!
One of my best breeding cocks is a Bull eyed red baldy cock. Actually on one eye he is a cracked eye..half bull and half orange. It is not the eye that makes them roll!

Yep, I have two bull eyed breeders. One has one, one has both. And both produce really nice birds with no bull eyes. Brian

Nick.I have several breeders with Bull or Odd Eyes.Like Brian said some produce young that never have Bull Eyes.The Pied Factor is what causes the Bull Eyes.When the Pied Factor is around the eye area of a roller you will see the Bull Eye.You can still see the pupil in bright sunlight. Some of my best rollers are Bull Eyed and that is why they are breeders.I personally think the Pied Factor has something to do with the roll. David

Hey Scott, sometimes the shade is pulled down on the window..heheheheh...Some of my best cock birds are out of a cracked eyed hen.
Also one of my most stable kit birds I have flown for several ears is also cracked eyed. Esthetically speaking, a clear eye is more appealing and attractive. Does not effect the performance in my family though.
