“Hardy as could be even if they were not the nicest. I was super disappointed this year when they were sold out of this breed and I could not get them again. This breed was not nice to me, but they were the very best as far as survival. These girls never were the ones chosen by hawks, they never jumped the fences to get eaten by foxes, they never had a problem in the cold, and they never really got sick like my goldens. They were with me for many years until an unknown creature got in. They were feisty, cautious, large, excellent layers, and good girls.”
“Of 8 chickens, 1 passed away in 1st 48hours. Chick was eating and drinking, vent opening was clear and didn't appear sickly. The rest are doing fine.”
“We absolutely love our sweet Poppy the Black Australorp! She was purchased as a day old chick in May 2019. She is nearly 4 years old now and still laying. Poppy is very friendly and docile. She doesn’t mind being picked up or carried around. I will point out she is one of my most talkative hens. Poppy also has something to say! But she’s not overly loud unless singing her egg song. Otherwise it’s more like she is just chatting constantly. She is very curious and is frequently supervising us when cleaning the coop or will follow us around the yard with her list of requests and complaints. Sweet chicken and one I would certainly order again!”
