Ah, but you explicitly get only one feather per vrock.
Of course the effects aren't that special. The Chromatic Dragon Heart just gets you a 30% chance of +2d6 damage (and only to a good-aligned target), so about 2.1HP per 6GP. The eye (in the description, "child's eye") gives a 20% chance of doubling spell duration. If I'm going to go to the trouble of blinding children (the noise alone is a good reason to have one's minions do this somewhere else) I want a bit more benefit out of it than that!
BoVD is from 2002. I don't remember when Alderac did their infamous-cover archer splatbook, but I think it would have been around then.
