Ancona/Australorp Mixes

[steiggy]

Can I ask how they turned out? I have this mix at the moment too. Thank you

Hi! They ended up solid black and looked very similar to Australorps. All three were very high strung and flighty though, and the rooster was a mean mean bird but a great protector. I added more birds to my flock and the two girls were just mean...tried everything to get them to quit, but after 8 months I finally rehomed them. They were excellent layers though! Pretty little cream colored eggs. Lost the rooster to a heart attack over the summer.
