I ordered Easter Egger eggs off of a person on BYC and had to wait a week before setting them because my broody bailed on me and I had to get an incubator. I had issues with temperature and humidity fluctuations and faulty thermometer so it looks like I am only getting one chick. The father was a Wheaten Ameraucana and the mother was some Easter Egger. Is this chick some color I have never heard of,with pink skin, beak,feet, and comb, or is he partially albino? He does have dark eyes, and his legs are feathered like there is a marans on the mother's side.
 
If he was truly albino he would lack the pigment in his eyes too, I believe.
That is what I thought, but I have read a bit on it and seen previous threads on here, and I guess there are different kinds of albino? I do not know for sure. If he/she is not albino, I just wondered what color the chick is and what he will look like when he gets older.
 
Does it have 5 toes? Salmon Faverolle chicks look similar to the one pictured/described, with feathered, white legs, and puffy cheeks, but they also have a 5th toe.

I do not know, it would have to be on the mother's side, and I have not seen the mother. Agape (the chick) hatched out of a green egg. I will go check for a fifth toe, but the faverolle could be way back in the mother's bloodlines, so even though a fifth toe is dominant, it might not show up.
