Here is my sweet little cutie patootie Australorp chick. Is she really an Australorp? She has the face of one, but she's got white on her wings and I thought she'd be all black with a greenish shimmer to her. I got her from My Pet Chicken so I don't think she's supposed to be a mutt...

Sometimes Aussies have white wing feathers as part of the juvenile plumage. They lose them when they get adult feathers.
 
Speedy is an Australorp/Wyandotte cross.

This is her as a chick.



This is her as a pullet (six months on)



I would suspect that your Australorp chick will lose her white feathers at first moult.
