Hi - new here. Just added a couple of little Australorp chicks to my flock.

That is a great picture!
congratulations!

thanks - I think they're so lovely when grown and was surprised (and pleased) to see how different they look when tiny.

Awww, such a cute little!!!

WELCOME!!! glad you stopped into our little coop

Incredibly knowledgeable Aussie folks on here (not me, I'm a newbie to the breed as well) loaded with great wisdom and so willing to help. Keep the pictures of the little "penguins" coming

. I will be sharing a few of my own when mine arrive in a few weeks.

Fluffy's right! She's adorable!

Thank you! She is almost twice as big as my other pullets that are the same age. All that fluff makes her look HUGE! I guess thats normal....

Sorry to say and I certainly can be wrong but she looks very much like a 'he'...

Even though "it" has a yellow/tan comb? "It" actually has the lightest comb out of all of my 10 weekers. What makes you think its a he? Just curious... I am new so I could very easily be wrong but wouldn't it be pinking up is it was a he? They were all bought from a farm as 8 week pullets as to lessen the odds of getting a he. Not that mistakes cant happen just trying to cut down on them. Anyone else have an opinion? Thanks for the input though as now I will keep a close eye out for it!
