I Have 2 Albino Parakeets, But is there Such Thing As an Albino Chicken???

 

[Illia]

No, not that I'm aware of. There's rare colors out there that seriously dilute all other colors, such as Lavender which is recessive too, but, not Albino.

Yes they have been cases of albino chickens.

There have been albino chickens and I think I remember reading about it being sexlinked as well...

 

[Ducks and Banny hens]

Yes, Albino does exist. It is thought to be derived from the Silver locus (s+), and is thought to be sexlinked (S^al/-). At least that's what I can remember. I'll have to research it, but I think it's S^al.

 

[Jenooni]

Yep, there definitely are albino chickens

No matter how many years you keep birds there are always chances to learn something new. I would have agreed with Illia in that I've seen a LOT of birds over the years and have never seen or heard of an albino chicken until now.

Just found this in an image search:
