Growing up, our Austrolorp that sis named "Batman" (we called her Baby Bat) was the sweetest girl! She would come when called and would nuzzle into our neck whenever we picked her up. Love love loved sitting on our lap to get scritches. She was in the middle of the pecking order, but would stand up for our smallest girl, Bruja (can't remember the breed, probably some kind of Easter Egger), when she would get picked on. Those two were best friends. When the head hen, Gingersnap (a Wellsummer) would pick on Bruja, Baby Bat would come charging to chase her off. Also, both Baby Bat and Bruja would ALWAYS roost on the shelves behind the coop together instead of going in the coop every night, so we would have to go out every night to put them up and lock up the coop. She was my favorite, and I miss her all the time. Shes the reason i see chickens as wonderful pets instead of just a farm animal.

I have australops as free range and they cleaned all my cattle from ticks. They love to visit cattle barn early in the morning. I no longer treat cattle for ticks since I brought them.

We just began raising back yard chickens. Two buffs and two astralorps. They are all twenty weeks old and should begin to lay soon. The astralorps are very sweet and have great individual personalities. We just fell totally in love with them!!!💕🐔

I had an Australorp named Mildred. She lived 8 years. At 4 she went broody for the first and only time. We gave her fertilized eggs and she sat and hatched them and was an amazing mother hen. We currently have 2 new Australorp chicks in our new batch.

I'm an Aussie. I got my first Australorps 25 years ago. They are beautiful things. Big, friendly and great company. The hens are fairly quiet. The roosters are vocal. I've got Blues and Blacks now, and Buff Orpingtons.

I love my Australorps. They are beautiful chickens and easy to look after.

Hatched about 20 of those 3 1/2 months ago, growing well and expecting to start laying eggs in a few weeks. So far I like them.

My Australorpes are very sweet, and in a half a week of getting them, they were letting me pet them and pick them up without me proffering treats. They are lovely. I got them primarily because hawks can’t tell them from crows, which will fight them. So, Australorpes are not tracked by hawks. This allows me to feel they’re safe as they peck around the yard (though I am always out there when they are). There is plenty of open sky in the yard as well as flower and shrub beds. I don’t worry when they’re in the open sky area.

I'm really interested in Australorps and I think they're going to be my choice for chickens that are easy-going, good layers, and good with children.

I'm a big fan of your channel, and appreciate all the information you provide. I would love to see you do a breed profile on the Jersey Giant.

Im raising them as a dual purpose for my homestead. So far very tame and very sturdy. Good at forging

One of our Australorp hens is a wonderful little sitter and mother!

I got 2 black and 2 blue australorp hens for my back yard and I love them. I’ve had them for a year now and they’re great

2:34 After I lost my Oona, I got two of these white ones. Gloria and Cerise.

My wife just purchased 10 biddies of these. I cannot decide if I am going to add this breed in. Any advice. Plenty of yard and coup space. Please advise. Thanks to all.

This is the breed I plan to get. I want a small backyard coop with 4-6 hens and 1 rooster. They will simply be pets with eggs as a bonus. They will love my backyard as I have already supplied it with 3 thornless blackberry bushes. 😁 I have more blackberries and strawberries than I can eat already.

[coleriedel]

We have 23 Black hens in our Alaskan coup... we're getting 13-21 eggs a day and they are happy as clams in 20-30° F
