Greetings ! I just picked up 28 Black Aussies from a farm in Pochohontas County Wv . Hoping to learn as much as I can here from you all . I've seen some amazing birds here so , I will sit back and learn all I can . Eventually I would like to get to a spot where I can actually help the breed . Thanks again !

The lady said she has been breeding them about 10 years. She said she started with a flock of peeps she acquired from somewhere around Harrisonburg Va, and the old timer she got them from had them going for quite a few years.
The white ones are a BA x A sex link. She threw them in free of charge for buying the 28 . I plan on eating those .
There were 4 of them . Two have identical black spots on their heads . Two don't.
I will say that her BA's that were fully grown were stunning birds.
My chicks are very skittish .
Thanks for asking and I look forward to learning from you all.
Great looking Rooster on your lap!

Slim,
You can keep the pics coming, but I would bring them to the Australorp Breed thread instead. I think if you look in some of my profile pics you will see that I took pics every week or so showing the development of the BA chicks. They are cute now, but will be in the ugly duckling phase in 3 or 4 weeks. Enjoy the little buggers!
