Black Austrolop?

Actually they do come in other colors but they are rare. I watched an episode of House and was irritated to see him with a white chicken he called an Australorp. Then I looked it up and found out they do come in colors other than black. As chicks they are black and grey and all the light down feathers into black.

Neat! She does have a bit of white tips on her underside wing feathers. She is a cutie though!!!

You got yourself a black astroplorpe rooster

Yours is much bigger than mine. I feel like mine are growing much slower than they should be.

Mine also has very pink legs with gray black at the top.

thank you. He is also very sweet. Will go without so the hens can have the good snacks. He is def. king of the run.

Does the chick have feathered feet kinda looks like she might in the second picture, but I guess you would have mentioned that.

I am thinking not a Australorp either...I have raised quite a few and NONE have resembled yours...but I could be mistaken also, but I am
going roo also...
