“Our Nugget is our biggest girl. She started to lay Brown speckled eggs around the 25 week mark. She lays about 5 large eggs a week. She is quite. She doesn't like being picked up but will let you pet her and gets along with all the hens. Beautiful girl. Would get more if I was allowed more.”
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely experience. Black Australorps are well known for their size, steady egg production, and calm presence in the flock, and it sounds like she fits that description beautifully. Not every hen enjoys being held, but their gentle and cooperative nature often makes them a joy to be around regardless. We are glad to hear she is thriving and contributing so well to your flock, and we completely understand the temptation to add more when space allows.
Thank you for your lovely review, Tamara! We're so glad to hear that your Australorp chicks are both sweet and feisty. They truly have such vibrant personalities that add so much joy to our lives. Wishing you endless fun with your chicks! Thank you for sharing photos of your chicks with us - they are truly adorable!
“Got my baby pizza on the 14th of October. They are now 7 days old and doing very well I got three in the box They were all good and healthy
My first three I got on the 29th I opened the box and two didn't make the shipment so they replaced the two and they're doing real well”
Thank you for your wonderful review, Franklin! We’re thrilled to hear that your Black Australorp chicks are thriving! It’s great to know that the replacement process went smoothly and that all of your chicks are happy and healthy now. Wishing you countless joyful moments with your feathery friends! They are absolutely adorable!
“These are,in my opinion, the best layers & the most friendly,"personable" chickens ever. They will follow you around the yard like a pet dog. I highly recommend this breed to everyone.”
“I always have a couple of these to go along with my Austra Whites. Usually, I have a couple of roosters from this breed, because as leaders they are nice to have around, and are friendly. (I live in town now so no males). I would recommend this breed to any first time chicken owner.
My 4/28/25 group has 4 females who are doing great. I can't say enough about this company and their Staff.”
