Australorps breed Thread

I doubt many on this forum would believe just how calm and laid back I really am.

You've had a lot of years of "chicken therapy", so I would totally believe you're calm and laid back.

Quote: I agree except in the case of my husband. He does ALL sorts of "those little things" to irritate me, often on purpose. I don't take it out on others. I take it out on HIM. Otherwise, I'm usually pretty easy going, and tolerant of everyone else.

I let the "kids" out to wander in the run today. Even though it was overcast and they are only five weeks old there was no mistaking they have a beautiful green sheen to their new feathers. In fact I'd probably describe them as deep green rather than black. Can't wait to see them in the sunshine

Finally took some more photos of the babies. They will be 5 weeks old this weekend. I am guessing that the one with the white fluff feathers on the chest still is going to be a rooster and the other a pullet.












Love the way you can see they are actually green more than black in this one


The one I think is a girl has all its black butt feathers and a little tail, the one I think is a rooster, not so much

Stunning photos Apps! I agree that you have 1 boy and 1 girl, hard to tell for sure thoug... Of my 4 bantam australorp babies I thi k my little 5 week old blue is a girl, my 3.5 week old splash is very clearly a rooster with a very red comb! And my 2 blacks I'm not sure about yet...

Can someone post some pics of some splash australorps?

I could be wrong but I don't know they are that common over there so I'm not sure who else has splash other than myself and @maddogdodge but ours are going to look a little different to what you guys have as we are both in Australia and hers are bantam.

I'm very partial to the blacks and there are actually quite a few folks breeding the splash and blue birds in the States.

Thought somebody said they were hard to come by a while back. Might have been a different breed thread I'm confusing it with. Do any of our thread regulars have them?
