BBS Australorps are beautiful! It is part of the reason why I am raising blue egg laying birds that are BBS coloring like the Australorp. My first hen - the one in the first picture - is 1/4 Black Australorp, 1/2 White Leghorn, 1/4 BBS Ameraucana. She was hatched from an Austra-White egg. My parents used to have 2 big Australorps too, they protected the flock.Hey, if you had some Black Australorps and made a trip this way, I'd give you a spare Splash Australorp cockerel that's about ready to start the crowing and breeding stage. That way, you could make your own Blues.
I don't know how I missed you before! Added to the list!Can I be added to the list even though my hatch date is May 6th? I have chicken eggs.
Well, my broody got up off the nest today and took the chicks to the feeder. One egg is not hatched and I am not surprised as it was questionable from my last candling.
Final stats:
Ordered 9 eggs from the intense egg layer mix from MPC, received 10 eggs.
Tossed 3 eggs on day 11, one clear and two scrambled.
6 out of the 7 remaining eggs hatched and are healthy.
60% hatch rate - what I expected from shipped eggs.
Of what hatched, now I have to figure out which chick is which . . .
1 x super blue egg layer
1 x blue ameraucana
1 x olive egger
1 x ameri-flower
2 x green magnolia
A good experience for my first time. My broody is taking excellent care of the chicks. I consider myself lucky!
