Albino chicken?

[Hannahducks]

Hi,
I hatched 1 isa brown chicken last week and I have noticed it doesn’t look so brown
It’s got a bit of red in the eye
And is starting to develop white feathers????
The beak and feet are still orange
But the feathers are white
I know that the rooster and the hen were both isa browns
What do u think

I believe for it to truly be albino the legs and beak would need to be pink as well. Possibly take a picture in regular lighting if you get a chance?

Albinos have red eyes and no pigment in their skin or legs. It's a white bird, which happens, especially in hybrids like yours. White leghorn coming through!

Could one of the isa brown parents have been a different breed? Or even their “grandparents”? Could just be a recessive gene.

Isa brown's are hybrids, and their offspring will not likely be identical to their parents.

Better Pics of the chick will help us identify the mutation as there are at least two Albino mutations in Chickens(Sex linked and Autosomal), it could also be a male Isa Brown, as the Isa Brown end products are meant to be Sex linked(Orange down females and yellow Down males).

I've got two mottled Isa Brown pullets in a batch of 200 day old chicks(they look identical to Isa Browns, Red Columbian with Dominant White but their body is mottled with white feathers, it's rather unlikely or nearly impossible as both parents of the Isa are Production type RIR and White Rocks that have dominant white, both Columbian)

Hi,
The chick is a bit older now
And has more white feathers
And my red in the eye
I can’t see any pink legs though

Yeah, he has yellow pigment on the shanks, chances are that he is not an albino but what is called the "Pink Eye" mutation(even that debatable as in the picture the eye shows to be dark)
