Australorps breed Thread

Really? Maybe it's just my town, but it seems that most dog/cat vets around here will refuse to see chickens at all.

Do not tell them it is chicken poo!

They don't see the chicken and the fecal float is the same for all of them.

I took a sample to our States health and food safety lab at the University of CA at Davis. It cost me $10.00.

The vet does not need to see the chickens, just some poop in a pill capsule, or other small container.

Hi everyone, thought I would share a pic of one of my blue Australorp hens. She is not in any way perfect or close to it but she does have her good points. I really like her comb for a start and I also like her colour but I would be interested in everyone elses oppinions. The pics are not the best but they are better than nothing lol.

Thanks! I never would've thought using a pill capsule!

Beautiful hen, CB&CG.

I plan on checking just to see what and who are around me to see if they have anything out of the normal for my little town. i would like to have a rare breed that others dont have right now i have a pair of Columbian Plymouth Rock (large fowl) i've only seen bantams til this year and i lucked up on them. i want some common stuff too though. dont plan on showing just eggs and meat and sells.
So do you show your birds?

I do not plan on showing.

That's it. I NEED a Blue Aussie.
I got my chickies from a local breeder, and they did look a little skinny when I first got them, but other than that, they were healthy. However, I do not recommend this breeder because one of my two is actually a Black sexlink, and the other has a very strange leg color, like a mix of gray and yellow. I really should get some pics up soon.

Thank your for the picture!

I hope mine get looking somewhat like that...

She is very pretty indeed! I agree her comb is great. Bear in mind that I'm no expert. She certainly has a pretty & clean face and overall good shape. My only criticism would be she may have a bit too much fluff under her dragging her almost perfect shape down a bit. Maybe it is just the pic? But oh my gosh... she is a beauty! All of us in the USA would really LOVE to have a bird of her quality. Outstanding! Eye candy for sure! Thanks so much for sharing your pics. Fun to see a real beauty like her. ~Dee~
