Here is my Black Australorp, Roxie, NOT AMUSED with me interrupting her dust bath for a pic.

Note the intense stink eye...

She's pretty!!

Thank you! She is almost 8 weeks old. She is the sweetest chick out of all the others.

Some pics of my lot, now 21 weeks old and no eggs yet. I am curious though, how old are Australorps usually when they stop growing? Because a couple of my girls seem quite small compared to my only fully grown Australorp

I'm hoping they'll keep growing for a while yet and get bigger!

By 21 weeks mine was pretty darn huge. Didn't get bantam Aussies did you?

mine are 20ish weeks and one has started laying. And they are all 3 also the largest birds in my flock. You could maybe have bantams...

The B,B and splash Aussies look like bantams.

Maddog,
There is no scale in the pics to judge the size, however their conformation, and coloring is awesome! My aussies are quite large too at 20 weeks, but they are not fully grown or mature until they are one year old. The only way to tell is to weigh them. Again, beautiful chooks you have there.

I have this boy that I'm not sure if he is a blue Australorp or not. He'll be a year this July, he looks like so many breeds and it is hard to tell which one he is. He usually stands straight up.
