Description
Black Australorps originated in Australia and were bred for egg production. They are excellent winter laying hens that produce brown eggs and need to be kept cool in the warmer, summer months. The breed is dual purpose as they are also good for meat. Black Australorps have a quiet and gentle temperament and stand confinement well. As babies, they are black with white underneath and small white patches around their head and wings. When mature they have black feathers with a greenish sheen. Bottoms of feet are all black. The typical weight for females is 5 lbs. and males is 7 lbs.
