Opalescence - This fault can occur in all varieties and appears as a visible evidence of a degree of opaline markings appearing in the neck,cheek,back of the head and wings.The varying degree of opalescence must be penalised accordinglyAny bird showing opalescence will be showing a major fault and from 2012 will not be able to win a class..

There are classes for opalines and normals BB , because we use opalines to improve the spots we often get opaline markings on the normals.

[barrieshutt]

opaline cobalt hen with a flecked head which is a fault on the show bench

[barrieshutt]

Seven fully grown primary flights feathers must be present in each wing.

So an opaline bird can participate in an opaline category and can win, but a normal bird with opaline markings is a fault. It is called "opalescence ".
