Chicken Breed Focus - Australorp

I'm in the process of hatching chicks out from my flock right now in my incubator. I will be looking for some SOP Blacks from a different bloodline so that they will not be too closely related to mine. Do you sell chicks or hatching eggs?

hi Blue Baby, hows it going ? i have been swamped here with tons of constant rain & hale my whole coop yard turned to 4 inches of mud & then my brand new 2 year old hen house roof was failing so ive been up on the roof for days when ever its not raining . i hope all your bator chicks are popping out strong & healthy let me know how its going, GOOD LUCK TAKE CARE

BlueBaby, if I understand you correctly, you have SOP blacks now?

I currently have only 1 Black hen that I got from Chase, who had the last of the Hupp line from Chet. I am hoping that these chicks that will be hatching out will have some blacks in them. I had put her with a Blue rooster. I really need more Blacks.

I was wondering how you were pulling though all of that with the monsoon, and I was getting worried about you when I hadn't gotten emails from you for a few days now.

Chet had a very good line, from everything I've heard. You don't want to introduce new genetics into that line, yet. Just keep hatching until you get what you want. Study up on Line Breeding.

I also have a few of these through Kurt (known as RattlesnakeridgeWV on this site), that I had hatched out before from hatching eggs from him.

He too has a very good line. Again, I would not mix lines yet. Study up on line breeding.

Well, I only ended up with having the one Black hen. The rest of them are all Blue's and Splashes. I had to put the Black hen back with her Blue son, trying to get some more Blacks.

awww geee thanks for your concern, im doing ok but have to keep my pc unplugged from all the lighting, we had one of those lighting protection things that's suppose to stop lighting from killing off your electronics , but that was the first thing to blow up , so now i just keep every thing unplugged , its been raining cats & dogs almost non stop rain no kidding, we get a storm a day & some times 2 or 3 and then raining all night , maybe i should be raising ducks now im dealing with my brand new coop roof thats been leaking bad from the sky lights, im thinking i should just rip out all of the that part of the roof , but dont want to do that now during this super wet monsoon season, been trying to wait till fall when things will be dry again so i hope your doing good & keeping dry, how many chicks do you have that have hatched so far let me know
