I have 5 Blue Australorps from Welp's September 21st hatch available, 2 males and 3 females. (Names refer to band colors).
My Blue Australorp girls that I got last year were such great chickens -- reliable layers of 5-6 large eggs per week -- that I got extra this year to choose breeding stock. One of them laid her first egg a week earlier than the California White did. Not to mention that they're simply beautiful.
These chicks have grown rapidly -- the cockerels were showing combs at 3 weeks and saddle feathers before 12 weeks.
Pullets are $15 each.
Yellow:
Black:
Black/Red
Cockerels are $10 each. I can't say anything about temperament at this age, but for what it's worth I don't make pets out of cockerels and they've been raised in a mixed age flock with adult hens and an older cockerel (currently 6-months).
