Does anyone know where to find black australorp bantams?

Bantams? Hmm... Good question.

Perhaps you could look in the Buy ~ Sell ~ Trade area and post that you want to buy some bantam Australorps.

OR you could ask the Australorp Facebook group. Someone there will know!

Good luck!

Sadly I do not have Facebook

May be worth setting up a chicken account just to use it for poultry enthusiasm!

This was my BA hen Violet. She died last summer

What a beauty. <3

Is she purple here, or is that just the photo?

I think it's just the lifting but her feathers do have a purple sheen sometimes

Lighting not lifting

I had one hen that had purple and green sheen. The purple is not exactly what we strive for, but, she was nice everywhere else so I kept her.

Violet was very nice to the other chickens she was very smart and was at the top of the pecking order. If something was wrong she would run up to me and follow me around squaking until I fixed it.
