“Our Australorp Luna is top hen and definitely the leader and protector of our rooster-less flock. She is calm, intelligent and dignified, a consistent layer of large brown eggs (double yolks on occasion! ), cold hardy and by far the most heat tolerant of our mixed flock. Most importantly, she is the most affectionate, sweet cuddler you could ever imagine and loves taking naps on my lap in our hammock. Overall an incredible breed that I would highly recommend!”
The Black Australorps are known to be a wonderful breed for backyard flock keeping due to their friendly personalities, egg laying, and their hardiness! Luna appears to be the typical hen of this breed and we are happy to hear that she is fitting in so well!
Thank you Patty for the review on your Black Australorp chicks! They will be great layers who are calm and friendly. They are beautiful in the sunshine with their shiny black plumage that has hints of green and purple in it. We hope you enjoy them!
“This is my second Black Australorp. They are friendly chickens and ideal Alpha chicken. Benign leadership. And so dignified even as chicks. I find them heat tolerant and cold tolerant as adults.They tend to lay nearly every day except in winter and when molting. I plan to always have at least one Black Australorp.”
“First time chicken mom here. I received my first ever 7 chicks ( all different breeds) two days ago and they are the sweetest things ever. All came healthy and happy. My little Black Australorp seems to be the one that's always in trouble but still sweet. Thank you to all the staff that answered all my questions when I called in and let me change my order a few times. Looking forward to seeing all the different eggs this fall.”
Thank you for taking the time to review our little babies! We are so happy to hear they are doing well and bringing you happiness! Thank you for your kind words for our Flock Care Specialists as well! My Pet Chicken hopes to help you with your flock needs in the future!
“2 of the 6 have already died. Another one waxes and wanes. I am not sure if she will make it. I am not a first time chicken owner and this is not my first flock of babies , so I am pretty sure they are receiving the right care on my end.”
We are so sorry to hear that you lost any of your babies! We do not see a report from you regarding your little ones as they were covered under our Live Arrival Guarantee for 48 hours after their arrival. We will be in contact with you by separate communication as we want to make this right for you!
“I ordered 3 Australorp pullets. They are precious beyond words. I received them on an unusual cold snap. They were delivered with care and are very healthy. I would not hesitate to order from the company again.”
Thank you so much, Bobbie, for giving our Black Australorps 5-star rating! We greatly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to hear that you found the chicks precious beyond words. Your satisfaction means a lot to us, and we would be absolutely delighted to serve you again in the future.
“By far my favorite breed we've ever had. The first black Australorp we had decided that since we didn't have a rooster, she was going to fill that role. She never laid but became the flock protector and was incredibly sweet and friendly to everyone. She actually died protecting her flock from a predator. We're now on our third Black Australorp and they've all been sweet and friendly, if a little shy sometimes. Highly recommend.”
Thank you so much for your feedback. We're thrilled to hear that you have had such a positive experience with the Black Australorp breed. They truly are amazing birds with unique personalities. It's heartwarming to hear about the loyal and protective nature of your first Black Australorp, even in the absence of a rooster. We're sorry for your loss, but it's inspiring to know she sacrificed herself to protect her flock. Once again, thank you for your kind words and for highly recommending the Black Australorp. If there's anything else we can assist you with in the future, please don't hesitate to let us know. We value your trust and satisfaction as our customer.
“We have a mixed flock and this is by far our favorite chicken. She is calm and gentle and doesn’t mind being held by our toddler. I will definitely get another Australorp in the future.”
Thank you for taking the time to review one of our Black Australorps! We agree they are so sweet! My Pet Chicken hopes to help you with your flock care needs in the future!
