Albino? Or genetic issue?

[silkielover88]

so here's a new born pick of my questionable bird. He is now a full fledged rooster, and also white, no longer grey. Silkie BTW. His feet and beak are both still white, bright red comb, and bearded. I can't figure out what went wrong with this one. Is he albino? Or genetic issue? Brothers and sisters are all of color, I got buffs, black partridge and a blue splash. I can also get updated pics later if it helps.

Its just a fault in the coloring, if it was albino then the eyes wouldn't be black.

He may be leucistic, it looks an aweful lot like albinism but they have dark eyes. That would be my best guess, and would be pretty rare too since I've never heard of a leucistic silkie. But it's the only thing that makes sense since silkies are a black skinned breed and that includes beaks and feet.

He looks like a cross bred silkie, which would account for the loss of correct comb, earlobe and beak color.

He could have some Sultan blood in him and that would account for his defects.
