Hi John!

Would have to say they are not Australorps, the shape is all wrong. I'm not up on what breeds you have over there, but they don't really match anything I've seen here in Australia, still very nice, healthy looking birds none the less, they are a credit to you husbandry skills!

One of my BA girls Carly that I think is laying. We've found 2 eggs yesterday.

Sorry to say the Hatchery Australorp's look like the ones in the pictures until the final molt, about 18 to 20 weeks. I know there are some here in the US wanting to get BA's from Australia but it is hard. Someone on the SQ BA thread was planning a vacation there and was going to try bringing back a breeding trio...She only had to convince the husband.

Your birds look fine and the pullet will start laying eggs soon.

They're our favorites! Very gentle, beautiful birds... Aside from our Dellys, the Aussies are the most popular with our customers...

This was my former BA roo. he was mean so I had to get rid of him. He won best of variety in the big Feb. show at the coweta co. fairgrounds.
