Australorps are one of our very favorites! Our logo is modeled after our Black Australorp, Charcy, who was with us for 9 fantastic years. Australorps are a breed originating from Australia, typically with black feathers and more rarely, blue feathers. Both colors are known for their great egg laying (up to 250 eggs/year) and gentle, curious disposition. Blue Australorps are large hens with beautiful shades of blue/gray feathers. They are a fantastic balance of efficient egg layers and sweet companions.Â
