Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Congrats on your new babies! Australorps are a fabulous breed. My all time favorite! Work with them as babies, they can be shy. Handling them a lot as tiny chicks will make them super affectionate. Welcome aboard!

Goodness--that's a lot of little floofs! You're going to have a great time raising them, and if you need any help you know where to turn to.

I talk to them and put my hand in box and they come running to where I'm at and jump on my hand

Aussies make great lap warmers! Find a safe place in the house, lay down an old bed sheet and get them out on the floor. Sit right in the middle, they will all gravitate to your lap for protection. This not only creates a wonderful bond but trains them to seek out your lap. They will forever fight over who gets the best spot on the lap.
