My game has seen alien babies of either gender and with either blue or brown eyes (usually - I think those have the same genetic dominance as alien eyes) after a reload, or when having multiples, or anything like that - it's just random chance.

I've noticed if it's a single alien baby they tend to get the alien eyes more frequently, but if there are multiples and they have the dominant eye genetics (blye/brown), some always end up with normal eyes, as if the game "knows" it's supposed to give the alien eyes to #1 but not the rest. There's also a possibility there have been some recessive eyes in the mix when the babies got alien eyes. Honestly can't remember. Also a little bit unsure which eyes the alien babies get if the other parent has custom eyes (non-genetic), since those are dominant over the default ones (been a long time since I experimented with this).
(My game seems to poke the randomness a bit with genders, where it seems to pick whichever gender will make a rough 50/50 on the lot, or pick the gender with the lowst rate in the current family - but even this isn't a foolproof way to get what I want, and is probably also random chance, just with a strange bias toward 50/50. If you do enough coin flips or anything else with a 50/50 chance, it tends to even out toward roughly 50/50 if you do it enough times, so over the years I've probably just seen that effect in my game. I've also had run-ins with getting 7 boys before getting a girl in a family, which shows it's still random chance).
