“These were the perfect hens for novices like us. The girls laid throughout the seasons and were cold hardy and tolerated our summer very well. None were broody. They were very trustworthy around the kids - and even our cat. :) Highly recommend giving these girls a try. They may not have pretty colors, but their green tint in the sunshine got the attention of all who saw them, and their eggs are large and brown. Just right.”
“My Australorps sit in the nesting boxes all day. If I try to scoot them off the eggs they strongly resist and I have to pick them up to get them out of the nesting boxes. None of my other 4 breeds is like this. I collect the eggs every day to no avail. Egg production is way down.”
“I was so nervous waiting for my baby chicks to arrive in the mail! I ordered 6 chicks, all different breeds. They all arrived healthy, alert and bright eyed. Growing fat, happy and active! I will definitely call on My Pet Chicken again to replenish my flock.
Sincerely,
A very proud and pleased Chicken Mama”
“My chicks shipped on 10/15/18 and arrived on 10/17. All the chicks were in excellent health upon arrival. As of today, they are precisely 21 weeks of age. Went to collect eggs and out of 10 ladies, we received 3 eggs. This is amazing as I have always seen Australorp wait until between 24 and 28 weeks to lay. ADDITIONALLY, the eggs are surprisingly dark. Not the typical "Pinky Brown" of most brown layers. I am very pleased with these birds.”
“Great birds. Extremely reliable layer. Very relaxed, and easy to hold or deal with. Super inquisitive and will follow me around. Loves to be around me and I can let her out and never have to chase her or beckon here with treats to get her back into the pen. Great layer - get eggs almost every single day. Never has gone broody (which is good for me).”
“Our Australorp is a calm, friendly bird with beautiful iridescent black feathers and a bright red comb. As a chick she was a bit skittish but as she grew up she became much more tolerant of handling. She loves her treats and pushes her way to the front to get the best ones. She is a consistent layer and doesn't bully the other birds.”
“My australorp has black Pupils with brown Eyes , and isn‚Äôt the biggest chicken ...she is no show bird but she does love to be held and Is a great family pet who we adore so for that I will give a 5”
