I just got some new updated pictures of my Australorops!!!
This is my hen Heki!!!

Very nice!

Yes. It has to be that way. I found this:

However, if you cross a barred mama to a black daddy, the boys will be barred and all of the girls will be black.

Are you going to make meat crosses?

Was thinkin about if one of mine goes roo on me. Figure id keep the hens to boost my layers if necessary, and the others...well the chicken grocery bill would be diminished a bit.

Still a ways down the road, but im considering all my options

Question, will a BA roo over a barred rock hen produce sex link chicks?

Cockle,
Been there done it, and Ron is right. Barred cockerels and black pullets, however they will have a purplish sheen and not the green sheen. I found out the hard way when the BR eggs were mixed with the BA eggs by accident. They were culled as soon as they started to grow up!

Yeah i underatand the mixing will happen...and it would be for supper and to supplement my layers until i can break down and get some quality ba lines... Btw what are the top lines, state side that is, for BA's? I know you have some beautiful birds!

G'day,

I have an idea on a real longshot on how to get bloodlines from Australia into the USA. Can you please tell me the regulations on getting fowls or eggs from England as I thougtht I read somewhere that this was done.

Regards,

Ross

Unfortunately Ross, there is an export ban from Australia at this time, I sure did look into it..that was last summer..I'm not sure weather or not they have lifted the ban..I think I posted the link a ways back in this thread..you might be able to find in byc search...we could seriously use some of your birds...)

 

[huppfarm]

and if the ban wasnt enough to chap your hide, the $140 customs fee 2 years ago is now certainly up there and the fear of the eggs being frozen in flight or the lack of care in handling is a very serious factor.............you may have scrambled eggs without even cooking them. I believe the only way to safely get them to the state would be hand carry them on the plane and keep them in your lap or a secured baggage compartment.
