“These are,in my opinion, the best layers & the most friendly,"personable" chickens ever. They will follow you around the yard like a pet dog. I highly recommend this breed to everyone.”
“I always have a couple of these to go along with my Austra Whites. Usually, I have a couple of roosters from this breed, because as leaders they are nice to have around, and are friendly. (I live in town now so no males). I would recommend this breed to any first time chicken owner.
My 4/28/25 group has 4 females who are doing great. I can't say enough about this company and their Staff.”
“Our “Black Beauty”, truly is a beautiful bird, but I had high hopes for her that she’s not living up to so far. Got her the last week of April, and it’s now Nov 18, over 6 1/2 months later and not 1 single egg layed. This breed is supposed to be excellent layers of 5 or so eggs a week. My Bountiful Blue I got at the same time lays 5-6 eggs/wk since mid-October and is smaller in size. Black Beauty is big, with beautiful lush feathers, she looks healthy and is active, but doesn’t produce any eggs. I’m baffled and disappointed as I only ordered 3 hens, but the Ameracauna ended up being a rooster, the Australorp doesn’t lay, so I only have 1 out of 3 laying eggs! I don’t get it.”
We're sorry to hear that Black Beauty isn't laying yet, but don't be too disappointed. Australorps can start laying anywhere between 6-7 months, but with the cooler weather and limited daylight during the fall, she may take a bit longer. She may be sporadic laying during the winter but once spring brings more daylight, you'll be pleased with her volume, I'm sure. Let us know if you have any other questions. We're happy to help!
