Ok they said they use Hoovers(should have known)I'll be waiting to see what hatchery they use.
I don't remember seeing white australorps on any of the major US hatchery websites, but that may say more about my memory than about the hatcheries
Good point about the color on the bottom of the feet.
Most breeds with white feathers have white or yellow down as chicks, so White Jersey Giants have stood out in my mind as the weird ones-- dark chicks that grow white feathers.
They may not be the only breed with that trait, but until now I had not noticed any others.
(Of course, a hatchery could be raising chickens with the wrong skin color, but hopefully there is a better explanation than that.)
