Austrolorps?

[3cravns]

Hi all,

Let's see if I downloaded the pics correctly... Are these Austrolorps as ordered? We are suspicious due to the brown around the neck - especially on the one pullet.


Thanks for your opinions in advance!

it is a black star [black sexlink].no austrolorp there

 

[Cat Water]

Agreed. Sorry.

 

[HorseFeathers]

Yep, Black Star.

PS- It's spelled Australorp.

I agree now that I've been directed towards correct pics... The pullets are really nice hens - and friendly. I'll just have to give a friendly reminder to our feed store that three of the four breeds we ordered were incorrect.

Thanks folks,

DC

Australorps are solid black with an iridescent black/purple sheen. Black feather-less legs with white feet.

Those are definitely Black Sexlinks, at least you've got pullets and not roosters!

What frequently happens at a feedstore is that little kids pick up the chicks, pet them, show them to mommy, and then put them back. But often times the chick gets "put back" in a different pen than the one it was taken from...
