If bred to even a normal colored hen, he will produce all visual Opaline daughters (some of which will be Lutino Opaline!), and all of the sons produced will be split to Opaline.

He actually has a darker, blue-green cast to his feathers that does not show as well in photographs.

Molting his baby gray hood feathers, his hood is emerging as a rich, cream color with a pale, peach-colored tint adorned by an apricot-colored crown.
