Australorp Pride! Let's see those pics!

Ha ha! You know... I meant just a chick hatcher. Then I could give them to whoever needed them hatched. Lol

Be warned, that is what some of the 'Hatch-a-holics' do.

We are completely off on a tangent! Sorry Mace for hijacking your thread.

Oh yikes... I'm sorry too. Altho my Aussies are some of my hatchlings. So there's that :/
(Hatch-a-holics? omg...)

This is my australorps baby daddy. And his harem. I guess this is what mine will look like all grown up?

Found a pic of Hermione as a youngster, hanging out with the boys.

Thank you!! I'll be keeping this for future reference!

Your welcome! I printed some out and then taped them into the bottom side of some egg cartons for when I am selling hatching eggs for them locally.

Yes, he should look like that when he's grown up. If you will be trying to breed for quality, watch for any red color bleed in the feathering. If there is red bleed in the coloring of the feathers, I wouldn't breed him as he could pass it on in the genes. Sometimes a reddish bleed can come through if they have any Buff Orpington in the lineage, and especially can be seen in rooster's.

I seen a nice looking Splash Australorp there in that pic that you shared, also!

Thanks so much for the info! I think I'm gonna get things ready to start a new hatch! It's good to know I can come here for great advice!

It's most likely cooler there where you are than here where I am. I'm over here in the desert, and right now the temp is at 110F. I'm not going to be running my incubator for any hatches until towards fall. My last hatch that I did was on May 5th, and I still have 2 chicks left from that, that are still inside my house in the brooder.
