Albino is a combination of Recessive blue and sex linked lutino.
a male has XX genes and the female XY genes.
Because the female only has 1 X, if the lutino gene places itself on the X she will show the colour. (a Hen cannot be split to a sex linked colour)
The blue gene sits in a different spot to the lutino gene in the bird, and you require 2 blue genes for it to be visual.
When 2 blue genes, and 1 lutino gene end up in a hen, you get an Albino.
to breed an Albino cock bird, you have to have 2 blue genes, and 2 albino genes...

Sorry if i've lost anyone!!
