well the breeder finally emailed me back the male was silver grey and the mother was albino.
and she is calleng my baby powder blue
one question i have is on the flight feathers there is white on the edges of the feathers (powder is just 5 weeks old) will it after the first molt get more white on the feathers or will that go away?
i know probably a impossable question to answer but i thought that i would ask
and also on the flight feathers there is white markings on the middle of the feather

Heya, if the male was silver (grey cinnamon) and the hen was normal albino, then your (powder blue, blue cinnamon, sky blue all same names) is 100% a hen. It could only be a male IF the albino is cinnamon too, which is 100% masked (you cant tell) in albino's.

Your baby sounds like it also has fallow through it. If one parent is fallow, all young have a 50% chance of having it too. It is a mutation that makes the flights throw an even lighter appearance and have a mottled effect on the flights.

If the albino is a cinnamon then your blue could be a male, however there is no way of proving this without having a male cinnamon sexed in the past from the young.
