Black Australorp Chickens: Australia Buying Guide

Black Australorp chickens combine dark plumage with a useful dual-purpose background. They are worth considering when you want a traditional flock with both laying and breed interest.

More about Black Australorp Chickens

Character & features

Utility qualities were important in the development of the Australorp. Ask about the particular laying line if egg production is your priority, or compare the adult form when choosing breeding stock.

Match the birds to your purpose: a laying flock, an ornamental group or a planned breeding setup. Talk to us about the particular birds if temperament or handling is important to you.
