Original thought cinnamon green SL Edged but with closer inspection it is not SL Edged. Flights are basically clear yellow.

Re: What color is this chick, please help

Your cock must be split to pallid(lacewing)
So you either have a green/blue lacewing hen or if its is sexed as a cock it will be a green pallidino either split blue or turquoise.
The photo looks to light for green lacewing so i would say its a green pallidino.

Re: Splayed legs or am I just an overly worried new mum?

Hi
The bird needs its legs held in the right position ,there is another topic on this with the bird wearing a device.
This is caused most often by not enough calcium in its diet.
Vetafarm make calcivit which can be added to it hand raising mixture.Do this for 2 weeks with the suppliment.

Hi
Well if she is a plain green then you will get Lutino/blue hens (Green ino/blue) and green/blue/ino cocks only.
The online genetic calculator is preset to green so if it shows just ino then it is green ino(lutino)
If its a Albino it will says Blue ino in the code.
