Australorps breed Thread

No,  it's a Black sex link and all Black sex links usually have SOME red on them.
They are a cross between a Rhode Island red roo and Barred Plymouth Rock hen.

I have a sex link that is all black, but that is because her dad was black or blue, and not red.

pink soles versus white soles on the feet. Yellow legs and feet would be a black star or something similar.

Jersey Giants are suppose to have yellow on the bottom of the feet.

A pure bred Australorp should never exhibit yellow on the feet or beak. If they do they have something else mixed in and are not real Australorps.

thank you Matt. This is what I suspected. I'll try to get a picture. Is it okay to post it here since the egg was supposed to be an aussie?

It'll be fine. We're really not THAT picky around here.

There is a separate (exceptionally quiet) forum for being picky/mean in... Not to say that wont still happen here but I personally think one can be informative and helpful in terms of genetics without being a... well you know where I am going with that.

They are awesome birds! I love my girls, they're my favorite breed! Always lay these huge eggs, and I love their personality!

I have wondered about the beaks in my Australorps as well. Now I know. They are my first Australorps and it sems like their legs turned all black almost overnight. I have some Austra-Whites too (Australorp Rooster with Leghorn Hen) and I was concerned that their legs didn't look like the pictures I had seen, then it seems that almost overnight their legs turned black too. That is very interesting to see, an almost all-white bird with dark black legs.

Hello from Byron from Byron, GA. I have 2 Austra whites. I didn't know there was a name for them. One of them has 2 or 3 black feathers in the back.

Austalorp eggs go from light tan to pink to a bit darker brown color. Langshan genes can add a bloom color sometimes.

I like the white look with black feathers....Pita pintas are like that but the ones I have are more black with whit tipped feathers.
