Welcome

The green sheen one is actually the proper colour. Purple is normally something you try not to breed for in an australorp. They look gorgeous in the sun though don't they

yes their beautiful well its kinda violet guess same as green i dont plan on showing just want to breed for bigger size and mature quickly i wonder if i crossy new hampshire pullet with my black aussie roo or the production red what will be better

Roosters mature sooner than hens ...4 months is average ..
even when they are younger ...they are more dominant over the pullets ..
Not trying to mate them necessarily earlier but definitely bossing them around
