blackaustralorp

I have two 8 week old Black australorps. They came from the same batch, but combs are throwing me off. They look so different. Not the best pics. Also the one in the back gives me vulture vibes.

I got her when she was idk big enough to sit on my palm but still sounded like a chick, she sounds like a hen now and is a lot bigger but I don’t think she’s reached her potential size yet. I feed her insects, live fish, rice and sometimes bread. The breed I’m pretty sure is Black Australorp...

First time chicken momma here! I got two “barred rock” pullets from a local feed store. They’re going to be two weeks old tomorrow (I’m assuming their hatch date was about two days before I got them). Chick one is smaller and just getting white on her wings. Chick two is larger, nearly all black...

Been doing quite a bit of research, and am getting mixed results about the Buff Orpington, of which I have 6 (19 weeks, approaching POL). I absolutely love the breed's friendliness and personality, but I'm afraid I won't get as many eggs as I had hoped for. I am thinking about maybe next summer...
