Australorps breed Thread

It is a nice site ...are they your pics ?
I would expect to see pics of that blue rooster and hen too  ..
That is what I think people would be looking for ..as black aussies are the norm

And you are missing the word "bit" on your for sale page. Grow up a "bit" before......

Just out of curiosity, where did you buy your birds from?

Yes they are all my pics. When i look on Gumtree people selling black Australorps chicks over here for 10 dollars each unsexed... some person is even selling 13 chicks for 150 dollars. I can probably bring them down a couple of dollars though. There are some pics of the Blue Rooster on the home page under one of the buttons but i will make a new post with new pictures! Thanks everybody for the feedback

Thanks for that. I will fix that. I bought my 3 adult birds (including my ancona) from a breeder in Perth and the new chicks i got from a breeder in busselton whose Blue rooster won 2nd place in the Perth royal Show.

Mine came from a woman in Perth too . I bought eggs though and hatched them here in NSW. Hmm Trying to think of her name......

Edited to add. Found it, this is where mine came from. They have her bird on the Australorps Australia website. . http://www.australorps.com/18.html?frm_data1=4&frm_data1_type=large

There's even a woman selling unsexed silkies for $45 each on a local Facebook group. And she gets heaps of responses. Crazy!

Have you checked the Austraian australorp Facebook group too? That's probably a better place to get price ideas for good quality ones. Gumtree tends to be half breeds more often than not.

I have 2 BA's in my flock of 8.

I am pretty sure one of the BA's was my first to lay right at 20 weeks, but the eggs are quite small, though she has been a trooper and laid 5 in 6 days.

Of the 2 eggs pictured could the small one on the left be the BA?

Could be ...to see who is laying...check the vent ...if it is large & pink they are laying
