Rhode Island Red x Black Australorps

[BarneyNCyndi]

Today we bought some new chicks, a buckeye and a aquila. I never heard of either before, but looked promising by their descriptions. The aquila is the RIR and australorp mix. As far as i can tell, this is the first time this mix was given a name.

Not a great picture, but he was hatched on March 7, 2017 and his coloring is pretty cool.

A family photo with mom and dad (and an adopted copper maran brother). One hen is solid black with gorgeous green iridescence and just a smidge of red around her collar. The other has a beautiful full red collar and lots a green and purple shimmer on her black.

Beautiful!
