Partial Albinoism in Rhode Island Reds?

[ogo1114]

My Rhode Island Red, Lacey is about 8 weeks old and for the first couple weeks she look just like the 4 other Rhode island I have but after a few weeks she started getting more and more white feathers and her feet and comb is really pale. A friend suggested that she might be a Silver Laced Wyandotte but her non white feathers are brownish red not black and that wouldn't exsplan the how pale she is. Do anyone know anything about albinoism in chickens? Her eyes isn't red but I don't know if they usually are in chickens or not?

Not albino—that's mille fleur colouration. Looks like a speckled sussex got mixed in with the RIRs.

She might be a Speckled Sussex. Do you have any pictures from when she was a tiny chick? Also, where did you get her from? She could also be a mix.

You have a speckled sussex, not a RIR.

Either you have a speckled sussex, or your chicken has some form of vitiligo (vitiligo is pretty unlikely)

As others have said, that's a Speckled Sussex.
