Australorps and Red Leghorns

[RuralWriter]

I'm excited because my husband just bought me some new chicks. This is the first time I have had chickens in 4 years. I did have light brahmas before.

Now I have australorps and red leghorns. He also bought a pekin chick and a blue roen chick.

I've been looking at my Australorps and see some white feathers. I read they will fall out, but wondering if this is true. I really was looking forward to all black hens.

They should fall out : D All black chicks I've owned from cochins to oegb who were black had a white feather or few, and they fell out/grew out
