K, thanks, I was curious if your Opaline keets had any obvious head markings at hatch and when they were young because I had what I thought was a pure White keet almost sneak by me and end up being sold last week (I hatch a lot of pure Whites)... I just happened to see some faint barring on the wing feathers as I was putting 18 keets in a holding cage prior to a customer showing up to buy them. The keet never had any head markings, not even a dark dot on the back of it's head as most of my White keets do), and it never feathered out with any spots or pearling... but at 5 1/2 wks old I suddenly see barring on the wings, with some slightly noticeable pearling in the flank area... so back in the big outdoor brooder he went, lol. It's a keeper!
