Australorps breed Thread

Congrats Dan! Kurts right..you can start to tell around 4 weeks or so..it takes me much longer with the blk oprs because they have a low comb..

Thanks for your input too Lynne! I have Hipps & Tigercreek eggs in the bator now. I don't have much confidence in the Hipps eggs but I am going through the motions. I also am supposed to get more Tigercreek eggs next week.

If things go as planned I will soon be Chicken poor!

You typed Hipps, but Aveca read Hupps. It is Hipps isn't it?? I believe that she got some from Hupp that is what she was holding ? .........stan

Hello everyone, I am a blue Australorp breeder from Western Australia (breed on a very small scale).
I have been lurking this thread for 3 years but now with your recent interest in Blue Australorps I thought I better join.
Just so you know CB and CG stands for chookboyandchookgirl as that is our username on some Australian forum sites.
This is my first time posting a pic so bear with me. I know there are some other Aussies on this thread but I thought you guys needed some Blue in your life lol.

Here is another pic of the same pullet.


Here is a pic of a Blue Australorp cockerel and then the same cockerel fully grown as a rooster. I also have Black Australorps if you wanted pics of them to but I have a feeling everyone is a little more interested in blue right now.


Not a great photo but better than nothing. Tell me what you think?

Yes Stan! You are correct! I won't be getting Hupps eggs until later. I really have high hopes for all the chicks I have as well as the eggs I have in the bator and/or lined up. It should get me a solid start of some quality birds.

I should be getting more eggs from your original trio about next Thursday.

Also want to add the reason I don't have that much confidence in the Hipps eggs has nothing to do with the breeder, but the box took some jolting around, 5 eggs were broke or cracked on arrival.
