does the white on the chick determine what there apperence will look like when older?
 
At what age can you sex Australorps. I have hered of some sexing them at 2 weeks old. but i do not know what to look for.
 
I have 4 black australorps in my little 9 bird backyard flock. They are really sweet! 2 are 6 weeks old and 2 are 4 weeks. The older ones are a little bossy, esp with my 2 4 week old cochins, but I've heard that cochins let themselves get pushed around a lot by anyone.

They are so friendly! Can't wait to see what they will look like in a few months!
 
Do you like your 'lorps? I find mine are nice. I like the blues better then the blacks. Hope you peeps in the US get the blues some time

I didn't know they came in any other colors than black! Our little black babies are so cute and sweet! They always jump up on me when I'm sitting on my bucket in our coop. (I'm sure they are looking for blueberries;)) I ordered all our chicks from MyPetChicken.com, and they only had black australorps. We also have 1 partridge cochin, 1 barred plymouth rock, 2 blue cochins and 1 buff orpington. We did have 3 more, a BPR cockeral and 2 more BPR pullets, but I just rehomed them today to a man who's son is going to use them for a 4 H project breeding project. Sad to see him go, but can't have roos in the neighborhood.

Awesome that you have had a good time with them. Yes there are other colors.I may have some white too,just have too see if they are splash or white
 
Now that they are nearly grown, they are so sweet. They always allow picking up and actually like petting! No eggs yet, but we love them so much already.

Can I use another colour of brahma roo to cross with a gold partridge that I could breed and sell?
