Peter or Matt would probably do a better job of answering this one but this is my GUESS....I repeat GUESS!!! Forgive me if I am wrong as my genetics understanding is not very good.
I know an Albino cock and green hen will produce
50% green/blue/lutino cocks and 50% Lutino/Blue hens
In the reverse situation and With the albino being a resessive colour I am tempted to suggest that you will not have the Albino gene in any of the babies. I think the albino gene is sex linked isnt it? So there would be a good chance of all offspring being green or maybe green/blue.
Green/Blue Cock & Albino hen will produce
25% Green/blue/Lutino cocks
25% Blue/Lutino cocks
25% Green/Blue hens
25% blue hens
But like I said, check with the boys first as they are good at this stuff unlike myself

Ok here is my guess. Just to clarify, an albino is technically a blue lutino. Because ino is always sex linked recessive and green is straight dominant, the cock birds produced should be green split blue and lutino and the hens should be green split blue. However I need to double check that as I am unsure 100%.

Matt is correct, Jen almost had it!  All cock bird babies will be green split blue split lution all hen bird babies will be green split blue |
