introduction the chin parents gave us a kit and we are very happy.
Does the baby fur change in the future?

I'm not sure what you're asking about the fur but it looks like one maybe both of the parents have an infection or something else going on with their eyes. Would be a good idea to get them looked at by a vet.

Your adults appear to both be hetero beige. They can produce standard gray, hetero beige or homo beige kits. Your baby looks like a standard and will not turn into a beige as he gets older. He will always be a standard.

That was my first thought too.
 
Actually the eyes look like you have a ventilation issue. You need to get some air circulating where they are. Point a fan at the floor and have it blowing around to disperse humidity and move the air. If the door to their room is closed, open it up. If you get the air moving it should clear that up.
 
Tunes- why would a ventilation issue cause eye problems like that? I'm not disputing you, btw, I'm just honestly curious.
 
We learned about this during an MCBA seminar when various long time ranchers came in and talked about the ideal way to set up a barn for the best ventilation, heating, and cooling. That was one of the first things he mentioned. That and over insulating your barn and what a big no-no that is.
