    Australorp Roo?

    This is an update on the only other one I think looks like a hen. It's doesn't fight and I havnt seen it crow like some of the other younger ones? It nearly looks full grown, so maybe he had the ages wrong. It does have some pointy feather though.

    Injured Pullet

    She said 6 hens, and two young roos. They have like a house room sized pen.

    Injured Pullet

    My friend has woken up to her pullet being injured. I have never experienced anything like this apart from a pecked chick once. She said there is a flap of skin and the injury seems to go further underneath if she pulls it up?? Will this heal on its own? Or what could she do to help it? Or...

    Australorp Roo?

    They were $15 each. But that seems to be to going rate for unsexed around here. He seemed genuine. Said he has never had anyone get such bad odds. He wouldn't let me pick through them as he said it was unfair on the next buyer. But part of me wondered if he sexes them the first week and sells...

    Australorp Roo?

    That was my thinking exactly. Chickens are scarce atm in Australia because of bird flu or something so at least i can breed. The guy I brought them off eats them, so he said if I returned them he could give me some more chick's that i would hopefully get some pullets from. I don't really want to...

    Australorp Roo?

    Yes, I even mentioned to him that they all looked like roosters. But he said it's impossible to tell with Australorps. I havnt had them before. He said he sells them unsexed and just grabs the first ones that he catches?? I feel like they are not normal grab ratio odds.

    Australorp Roo?

    So I purchased 8 unsexed Australorp chick's. The oldest I was told was around 8 weeks when I got them. That was 4 weeks ago. I seem to only have one that looks like a pullet. But the oldest one has me wondering. It looks and walks like a hen and clucks like a hen. But it's developing some...
