Albino gene?
Lastweek I posted a pic here of my 4 y/o B&G'S unusual color tail feather.
Well ive learned he has most likely albino gene in him,which is very rare.I learned that Albino mutations in B&G's most commonly show up as canary yellow. Here is a couple more pics,my battery died in my camera,so I wont be able to take new pics till this weekend.I wanted to take pics of his white feet,his toes are normal color thought.

If he does have an ino gene, it would more than likely be lutino... Albino B&G's are white... well, I've seen a B&G without any yellow so I doubt it's actually albino that you are seeing. My only thought was that your B&G could be carrying a pied gene, which would make sense for the one yellow tail feather, and the white feet/nails.
