    They look like girls to me - compared to mine at least! So excited for them to start laying for you! Maggie

    Thanks for the reply! I figure it's always nice to post the progression of chicks, just in case there is someone trying to figure things out just like I am. It is my first time with Australorps and I don't have much to compare to. As for your girls - it sounds like I may have 3 boys one girl...

    Thank you cactusrota! Here is the latest pics of 1,3 and 4 I took today. Thinking 3 is a girl for sure - no wattles. Wattles are starting on 1 & 4 but they are still looking pink. 2 looks similar to 1 & 4 - off free ranging somewhere else. I am thinking they may be girls as well but still not...

    My blue australorps are just older than 6 weeks. When can one expect to see wattle development and for combs to get red? I have one that looks like it is getting pink (chick 1 in photos). I've added some photos and would love some thoughts - so impatient - almost as impatient as my chicks being...

    That feels like I'll have to wait forever! There are not many breeders of australorps here in Nova Scotia, but there is a fellow outside of Truro, NS, who has a small flock of only australorps. He is more of an enthusiast than a breeder, I suppose. He brought is rooster (a black australorp) in...

    They are cute. Any early indicators to determine gender of the blue australorps? Or do I have to wait until their combs develop?

    They are so cute. Apologies for the quality - I don't know how people get good pictures of chicks - they never stop moving! I have three really light ones - varying degrees of grey - and one darker one (image 1). The darker one has white feathers on the lower part of its wings. They are mixed...

    Australorps breed Thread

    Hi, I'm new to chicken keeping but picked up a variety of different breeds from different breeders last week. 5 wheaten ameraucanas, 5 barred rock and 4 blue australorps. I just love the australorps. They are calm, gentle and very healthy - growing noticably quicker than my barred rocks (same...
