She is a doll. Is she still laying?

Congrats Hilda! You are a beauty

She hasn't laid since just before her molt last fall. She is SUPER sweet and LOVES warming my lap.

I LOVE Australorps and will never have a flock without them! Hilda is my last Aussie.

That's my Hilda!

She just turned 6 years old!

Mine are three ... seeing yours looking so stately at six gives me hope

Of all the breeds I have kept, Aussies are the hardiest, healthiest and the longest living. It is not uncommon for them to live to be 7 years of age.

That's great to know. I'm falling for the breed myself!

Thanks for the encouragement! Herself and I agonized over what breed to get when starting. I insisted on Aussies and neither of us have regretted the decision!

Aussies are just so docile and smart, its hard NOT to fall in love with them!

Both my rooster and I disagree on that point my girls, on the other hand ... gentle and sweet!

I loved looking at the photos. I have one Aussie due to arrive this week with 3 other chicks. Basically a newbie I did order a barred rock as I had one long ago that was so sweet. Thanks to coyotes they didn't survive being teens and this is my foray back into chickens.

Roos are a totally different ball game.

But Aussie Roos are gorgeous!
