Black Austrolop breeders in Wisconsin?

[samiam4863]

We've been raising chickens for 5 years now and have enjoyed Golden Laced Wyandottes, Barred Rocks, Speckled Sussex and Welsummers. We are looking at Black Australorps for our next breed and are curious if there are any breeders of these located in Wisconsin? I've done online searches but haven't come up with any.

If you just want egg laying stock, a hatchery is just fine. If you want straight run, show stock, go to an APA certified poultry show. Talk to the breeders. They may know someone who breeds Australorps, or better yet, shows them themselves. You can also join our state poultry Facebook page, the Australorp club page, and the APA page. If you are into Facebook stuff. Lots of breeders haven't established pages online for their farms.
