Oh, ok. So i had it backwards. Thanks for the clarification! Then Australorp feet will be pink?

Here they are at 6 days old. To further confuse the issue, I got my chicks & pics mixed up in my original post & actually had no pics of Chick # 5 in it (Those were actually Chick #8 ). This is Chick # 5 in the front – Blackest legs & feet, least amount of white on feathers, most ridgey beak...

Thank you, Ron. Should I repost pics every week or so? It's important to me because I have a special name picked out for the Australorp...Cuz I'm silly like that...

Hi all, I received my Black Australorp (supposed to be female) chick from Meyer Hatchery on Tuesday. The problem is, I also received a Black Orpington & Black Jersey Giant. I'm having a really difficult time figuring out which chick is which breed (note to self: order mixed colors next time...

Quote: That is one cute little chickie! I can't wait to see what it grows into. Congratulations on your hatch!!

Wow, I have never heard of a bantam australorp, I'm sorry i can't answer your question, but where did you get her?

Now that's funny!

that is adorable!

That is sad...I'm sorry you lost her. How hot was it outside the day she died?

Well...This will be my 1st hatch attempt...plus, I couldn't decide on breeds...just so many good ones! So I ordered 2 each of the Australorps, Buff Orpington, Speckled Sussex, Rhode Island Reds, & Barred Rocks, + 4 Easter Eggers & 1 assorted Bantam...My poor DH is feeling like I've gone cuckoo...

I got the email this morning that my 2 Black Australorp eggs shipped this morning

i have read that letting them roost on the 4" side of the board is preferable, for foot stability & health. Also, in cold winters, all of their foot will be covered with feathers on a roost this wide preventing frost bite.

Thank you.

Hey, maybe all you Australorpians can help me out. I'm in the process of designing my coop, and I want to make sure I don't put the roosts or nesting boxes too high because of the heavy-bodied breeds I'll have such as the Buff Orpington and Australorp. I read that Bumblefoot is a common problem...

Yep.

I just thought of the best name for the chick I'm expecting ~ Quigley. Can't wait!!!

thank u 4 the welcome :). We have 7 day olds right now; (3) polish, a wyandotte, and a cochin. On 7/10 we will receive (2) easter eggers, a barred rock, the australorp, a buff orpington, and a welsummer. I couldn't choose, and i want each of these breeds for specific traits they're known for.

Thank you! I ordered them from mypetchicken.com, so if I understand correctly it will be from Meyer.

Hello Australorpians! I'm not one of you yet, but my chick will be coming on 7/10. I can't wait!
