My 4 day old Black Australorps have white feathers coming in on their wings. I'm a newbie so this seems weird to me and has me wondering if I have a different breed.
Thoughts?

My Australorps are now 5 weeks old and they all started out with white feathers like that. I didn't expect it either, but there you go. One or two may be roos and we are waiting to see.
x2Most black chicks (like Black Cochins and Australorps) start out by growing white feathers in on their wings. Those feathers molt out into black feathers eventually.
