Australorps breed Thread

WOW my Australorps decided to go on strike, I moved them to theie new coop and they totally quit laying for 3 weeks now.
This is Big Daddy, Other than a little frost bite damage to his comb, I feel he is very nice. He now has spurs that are 3 inches long.

Your call-name and location reminds me of about 7 or 8 friends who live in that town. Some are getting a little age on them now. I have hunted hogs and bear with these fellas, having first met them at a round-up in S.C. several years ago when I freeze branded lots of their curs and hounds.

Looks like the cock bird got his comb smoothed down a bit...you must use dry feed since his wattles don't seem affected.
 
AWWW ! he has no Hens ? at all ? Poor Dude !
No no.

There are 6 girls, but different breed. I have leghorn, italian chicken, and isa brown hens.

You can see here.
 
I was referring to an Australorp Roo crossed with a Leghorn hen. They call them White Austras.

Sorry, didn't understand you.

I have one chicken from Australorp black x Lehgorn white hen.
But she is crazy, she can't be still for a second. I'll take picture tomorrow.

My son has gone off kilter and ordered 65 Austra-White pullets from Cackle Hatchery. His plan is to intigrate/cross breed them into our production flock of Naked Necks. I called the owner of the hatchery and he assures me they do not lay white eggs but rather a cream color...and lots of them. So long as they aren't chalk-white, my customers won't really bulk on them because they are supposed lay quite large eggs as well.

They will have to go hard to beat the Australorp flock that he sold to one of his buddies,
