I sent @MACE a message last week but haven't heard back. He seems like such a sweet guy. Hope all is well with him & his flock.
This is my first time to have Black Australorps. I'm concerned that only a couple are laying. They are about 9-10 months old. The ones that are laying have large red wattles & combs but the others look like they are still juveniles.
They are beautiful birds, but so far I have been disappointed in the delayed laying & the size of the eggs. Prior this this flock, I have raised Barred Rocks & RIR's.

Hey guys! I had 6 hatch this morning! My little blue hen hid a nest, and when I tried to move her she had over 20 eggs underneath! I'm sure they were not all hers. But she left the nest, so I grabbed 7 to put in my incubator. There are a couple of pretty silver gray chicks. And some may be mixed with my buff orpington rooster. Here's a baby pic

I hope that he is ok too. I noticed that this thread had not been posted in for awhile. It look's like I might have livened it up again.

I still have my Australorps, but I have also started doing the Naked Necks too.
