They seem like a great breed so hopefully I can get some soon and all your birds are so pretty

I would love to have same different color Australorps!

Some not same.

Some not same.

With Blue genetics, you will have blue, splash and black depending on the parentage.



I just hatched out a blue--it hatched two days early!

The camera batteries are both dead but I will get a picture when I can.

Here are some of my babies at about 8-9 weeks. We've got some Orpington to breed out, some are from my Blue Orp/Aussie mix. A few are from another fellow in TN, he could not remember exactly where he got the foundation stock and didn't know that blue Aussies are that rare. I think they are out of Taylor farms old line, but of course can't be sure. I have one older blue pullet from that same farm, her comb is horrible. Love her color, got to consider the comb, though, when thinking about breeding. Got 3 cockerels and one pullet growing out.





The little splash is an Isbar, a few Olive Eggers behind big boy. He is beautiful and very calm. The blue pullet to the far left is gorgeous too.

Its interesting to see some the same age as mine tnmommy. I find it hard to compare normally but seeing them at the age Im used to is a lot easier. I can see that there is definatly a difference in yours to mine, would that be the orpington coming through you mentioned? Or just the difference between the Aussie and US lines Im seeing.

This is our gal at 10 weeks.

Thing other than comb I notice is mine has more of a fat pigeon breast going on She is also working on her ballet stance
