I own a international software company, live on an acreage, raise a small menagerie of animals, and have 4 foster children under the age of 4. We got the Australorps at the request of our two older foster kids after visiting the Stampede and the one said 'I want a black chicken'. (We had already been thinking about getting some chickens to add to our flerd and had already been thinking Australorps - we had just days before made arrangements to get the Bielefelder's and figured why not.)
