“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”
“We ordered 3 Autra White day olds over the summer but due to limited quantity they were unable to ship so ‚Äòmy pet chicken‚Äô recommended three Australorps instead to go with the other three Road Island Reds. I am so glad they did! Our three Australorp hens are the sweetest and most hardy birds out of the flock. They have started to lay consistent beautiful brown eggs even in the shorter winter daylight. We thought our reds would be the more docile and friendly of the flock but it‚Äôs the other way around. Our Australorps love to run over to us and let us hold them whenever we want. I highly recommend these for your flock. Their beautiful black feathers have a green sheen in the daylight and have been a fan favorite of my visitors.”
“large pretty birds, however, I personally see a couple of down sides. I have two hens and they are aggressive to each other and my six other hens avoid them at all costs. They are from the same egg batch and are just turning seven months old and neither have laid an egg, while all my others lay almost every day. I see reviews and posts saying they need to be eight months old. Hopefully they havent reached "adulthood" yet and they will calm down.”
“We love our Australorp hen. Just have the 1 but she's friendly and sweet, calm and curious. Nice chicken. She's our second favorite, after the Cuckoo Bluebar who is similar but overly friendly and mellow.”
“We bought an Australorp day old chick on My Pet Chicken back in April, along with a few other breeds. My chicks arrived prompt, healthy, and happy. They thrived and have been doing amazing ever since! My Australorp was one of the first to start laying (at 5 months old) and is my most consistent layer. She is super sweet, with the exception of bossing around my dog. I've had multiple people comment on how healthy and happy they are. SO happy with My Pet Chicken and in love with Australorps!”
