Australorps breed Thread

[jdoane]

I've been hearing about other color Australorps. Can someone post some pictures. I would love to see them. I'm new to all this but my little BA is so sweet! ANd I like a diverse looking little flock so I'm wondering about other colors.

In response to how my BA, Black Betty is doing after the turkey attack:

She's doing better. The head is now scabbed and looks like it is healing. She has insisted in joining the rest of the flock, so I have let her at short intervals.  I have a resilient girl!! I was thinking the worst and she has proven me wrong!

That is wonderful news!

White and Splash but both are rare and hard to find and breed for. I will be trying for a splash next breeding season though.

Thanks for the info. So much to learn. Are there other colors in Australia where they originated. I thought I had read that.

Don't get carried away by colors until you know how to breed type in a Black Lorp. When you have a flock of good blacks, then you can try breeding the colors. The Blues are not set in type yet, and are much harder to breed for a novice. Walk before you run.......There is much to learn about type.
