My australorps are my FAVORITE birds. Very kind, sweet, always hops up on the ladder to greet me. My australorp roo doesn't crow much and is very protective of his girls.
Dora all puffed up because of the snow (in Texas. On the second day of spring.
We got 4 BA's last spring, lay great all winter, great FUN personalities. If they want attention, they are underfoot! Since they were chicks they were the first ones to race to us to get some petting. We just got 5 more straight-run and are hoping for 1 Roo & 4 pullets.
