Black Australorp Started Pullets
Black Australorps are phenomenal layers – probably the combination of Orpington, Leghorn, and Rhode Island Red genes make this bird a laying superstar! The current laying record for a Black Australorp is 364 eggs in 365 days – an amazing achievement, especially when considering they did this without extra lighting for the hens.
The feathers of the black Australorp have a beetle-green sheen in the sunlight giving a stunning iridescence to the feathers. Black Australorp is a rare breed with beautiful blue coloration. They are known to be an extremely friendly, large-breed chicken. They make the perfect children’s chicken. A fast-growing breed with a slightly shy demeanor initially, but once they settle in, they are likely to follow you around the yard if you have any treats in your pockets! Australorps will tolerate confinement well, but very much enjoy free-ranging and searching for bugs and morsels in the yard as they really do like to be active.
