Thanks ya'll. There was someone telling her that her bird was not an astralorp because it did not have brown around it's neck. lol I told her mine didn't.

Not many hens look like the one in the picture! That one is nearly dead on for SOP for an BA hen

Cap have you ever tried selling hatching eggs? I made a lot of money selling the turkey hatching eggs for 3.00 each. People would ask me to save them for them and they would come pick them up and pay for them. There is also the crazy auction threads on BYC to. I think I gave a discount on a dozen or more.

Oh yeah, years ago I sold loads of eggs and shipped a lot. But shipping keeps going up , I still do sell some at times. I would rather sell chicks.

Very Nice!

Of course I think BAs are very pretty birds but getting one in SOP Shape is special

chicka, the brown on the neck sounds more like a Black Copper Marans.

There is no "hair", or feathers on Black Australorp legs, or feet.
