Well, just got a phone call from Ideal Poultry to my question of why I had some black chicks with my white leghorn hatching. Seems that when I ordered white leghorns, Ideal could include regular white leghorns and also include california leghorns. The californias have some black specks since they are a cross of black production and white leghorns. I checked and I have two california hens. They have tiny black specks. Ideal told me that californias do NOT breed true and that's why I got some black chicks.
