GOOD NEWS.  I NOW HAVE THE START OF MY OPAL ISABELLE.  THE FIRST CHICK HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED.  HERE ARE A COUPLE SHOTS OF A CLUTCH OF FOUR CHICKS FROM A PAIR OF NORMAL JAVA DOUBLE SPLIT FOR SILVER AND FAWN.

THERE ARE TWO SILVER CHICKS IN THE BACK, ONE NORMAL CHICK ON THE LEFT FRONT AND THE OPAL ISABELLE ON THE RIGHT FRONT.  THE TOP PICTURE SHOWS THE RED EYE OF THE OI AND THE START OF THE FEATHERS ARE A CREAM SILVER.  NOT A SILVER BECAUSE SILVERS HAVE DARK EYES.

THE NEXT TWO SHOTS ABOVE ARE OF PURE JAPANESE CHOC. PEARLS JUST ABOUT READY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE PARENT BIRDS.

THIS LAST PHOTO ARE SOME WHITE SPOTTED MANNIKIN THAT I PURCHASED AT THE NATIONAL THIS YEAR.  I BOUGHT FIVE BIRDS.
