Black Australorp chickens are a highly productive and popular breed known for outstanding egg production and a calm, friendly temperament. Originally developed in Australia from Black Orpingtons imported from England in the late 1800s and early 1900s, this breed was selectively bred for efficiency, productivity, and classic Orpington body shape. Today, Black Australorps remain a top choice for backyard chicken keepers seeking reliable egg layers. Renowned for their record-setting laying ability, Black Australorp hens typically begin laying at just 4-5 months of age when provided with adequate daylight. Despite their exceptional egg production, they are still considered a dual-purpose breed, growing at a good rate and producing a well-fleshed carcass suitable for meat. Black Australorps are quiet, docile, and easy to handle, making them ideal for small backyard flocks. Their striking plumage is a rich, glossy black with a stunning beetle-green sheen that shines in the sunlight. They feature black legs and toes with white foot bottoms. These fluffy, cold-hardy chickens are excellent foragers, adapt well to confinement, and tolerate colder climates with ease. Known for going broody, Black Australorp hens also make attentive mothers for those interested in hatching chicks naturally.Guarantee of 90% accuracy on all sexed poultry.
