I'm new to chickens, don't have any yet as I'm still in the research and gather info phase. I was leaning toward Astrolope chicks. Are they friendly? Your's are sooo cute!
Welcome Country!!
Australorps are one the best layers. If you are looking for a great egg layer, you will want one of these beauties. And, the sex links, and RIR's, and I love the leghorn. Everyone says what? My leghorns are always friendly. Here is a picture of my leghorn about a week ago. She should start laying next month! Big white eggs on the way. All of the other birds I mentioned lay nice big brown eggs.
When I lean down, if my lap is anywhere clear, she is up there. My leghorn, Miss Piggy.
Here is a picture of my Australorp all grow up, took this pic today. See the turquoise?
It really shows up more in real life. Their feathers are so black, they shine this color in
the sun. I love their sweet eyes..they have sweet faces. She started laying in March,
is now laying almost every day.
