a few weeks ago my broody orpington hatched out 6 chicks. 3 are brahma EE, 2 are orpington EE and then theres sunshine. she hatched a little later than the other five and i'm starting to think she's an albino orpington. the only other breed she could be is Australorp but she has no black on her feathers other than a lil EE brown. im still a little new at this so all insight is helpful thx:idunno:jumpy:D p.s Ill try to get more pics soon.

Yes hard to make out anything from the pic.
It would be beyond rare to hatch an albino chick.
Much more common to hatch a white chick from parents with unknown genes.
EEs are mixed breeds or at least mixed color/patterns. They can literally be any color/pattern and can carry a ton of unseen genes.
There's also different ways to get a white or mostly white chicken so I'd say you're seeing some unexpected genes at play and not an albino.
