Black Australorp Chicks

Black Australorps are a beloved heritage breed known for their glossy black feathers, gentle temperament, and exceptional egg-laying ability. Originally developed in Australia, these birds are champions in production—laying 250 to 300+ large brown eggs per year. In fact, the breed once set a world record for egg laying!

Docile and easy to manage, Black Australorps are ideal for families, beginners, and mixed flocks. They thrive in both confinement and free-range environments and are especially hardy in colder climates. With their calm disposition and consistent productivity, Black Australorps are a dependable and attractive choice for any flock.

Valley Farms Hatchery has selectively bred the Black Australorp since 2015.
