[img][/img] Thats Peachy shes my daughters Aussie. Shes five months old and has started to lay. The Rooster with her is a Dark Cornish Bantam and Im going to try to see if I get anything from the three eggs that I have in the Incubator.. and yes Ive seen them mate LOL

[img][/img] when she and her sis were babies..





yeah I love my Aussies.. Very talktive and always there to greet me when I go in and change their water..

I am so excited to find this thread!
Apparently everyone here loves their Aussies as much as I love mine.
They are incredibly sweet and friendly, and at 19 weeks 4 days became amazing egg layers! At what age did your ladies begin to lay???

This is week 3 of eggs and I have gotten 5/6 3 days this week (min. 3 eggs each day).
I love looking at the pics of everyone's birds and especially the regal and beautiful roos. My next goal is to get a couple of more hens and a roo, so we can make homegrown fuzzybutt chooks!
Thanks for sharing all this information and lovely pics.
I was so interested, too, in the differences between Australian native 'lorps, and ours, here, in the States.
Thanks again!

Brightest Blessings!

i have a 6 month old BA, at what age do they start laying????????

Any chance of a hidden nest, somewhere?
Mine are 5 months old and have been laying for almost 3 weeks.

aveca, I have a BA hen named Mathilda, as well!
She was my first to have a big, red comb and wattles and my last to lay! just never know what Mother Nature has in mind!

no hidden nest, but i also have a RIR, EE, And a Black Star same age, but no eggs, although the Black star has sung the egg song a couple of times within the past week, so i guess any day now.

enough protein? enough light hours?
I have no idea what their hold-up is, but these are the things I always hear about affecting laying.
I hope you wake up to a sweet little brown egg (or 3) tomorrow!!!

Gorgeous birds, bluebirdchick!

I know I need to get some new pics of my girls. It has been 5 weeks! They change a lot between 18 and 23 weeks old!
Thanks for sharing your friends with us!

Brightest Blessings

My little girls, at 23 weeks, today!
Happy Birthday AliceAnne, Gladys, Mathilda, Molly, Agnes, and Edna!!!

AliceAnne doing what she does best!


6 months ago, if someone had told me I would be madly in love with chickens, I would have laughed in their face!
A lot can happen in 6 months! lol
