If you think my birds are impressive wait until you see the father and the Aunt to my two pullets. Now they are a sight. If you want to see them just PM and I will send you a link to...
Here is a blue Australorp pullet and a Black Australorp pullet. Remember I am in Australia so a slightly different standard to yours. Still interested on everyones thoughts though.
