australorp black

Hello. I have a Black Australorp chick. She had been fine and her beak was normal for the past 3 weeks. I brought them home April 6th. But, today I noticed that her beak is F***ed up big time. It actually looks broken to me. It hangs open and when I touch it gently it seems to be loose. She is...

After doing a lot of research and deciding to purchase hens versus chicks, I caved and got chicks. I'm a first timer, but I researched breeds and my top pick was Australorps. My local TSC had them in stock and I thought I'd get some others for variety. So I got 4 Australorps, 3 Barred Rock, and...

Can you help me ID my hens? We have six 6 1/2 month old chicks, some of whom the store had in the wrong bins. I thought I had figured out what breeds they all are, but was corrected in another thread by https://www.backyardchickens.com/members/ilovemychicks08.609587/ I think @Ilovemychicks08...

Hello, My 5 Black Australorps (BA) are not laying eggs, despite being 7 month old. I'm from France (so Nothern hemisphere). One of them actually started to lay eggs one month ago (so she was 6 month old). But not anymore, so I have zero egg now. I raised them from fertilized eggs thanks...

Hello! We are totally new to chooks! We’re hoping these are all hens as we’re not able to keep a rooster on our property. Anyone have any guesses about these 4?

Australorp in general are great layers. Ayam Cemani is not. Does anyone have experience breeding Ayam Cemani rooster with Black Australorp or similar breeds for egg production?

Hi! We recently bought some new chicks, previously 7/8 weeks old, however now they are around 14/15 weeks old now. At first we thought that our little Australops where all hens, however they are looking more mature now and we are starting to have some suspicions about some of our hens are...

Hello, I'd like to know which gender is my almost 10-weeks old, black australorp baby chick. Thanks for your help! Here are some pictures :

New to chickens and were told we were buying 5 Australorp pullets, born in July, from someone on a local backyard chicken board. Now not sure if pullets or Cockrels. All 5 look pretty similar, but if photos of each individually are necessary, please let me know.

I got what I thought was 4 black australorps. I'm not sure the striped one with tan feet is. A few ppl have said Roo, but I'm not sure either. Any feedback is appreciated.

We have the sweetest little cockeral in our flock. Unfortunately he was suposed to be a she. We need to find a good home to place him in. Is anyone interested? We live in Herriman, Utah.

EDIT: better pictures added Hi everyone, I'm a first time chick owner so I need some help with ID. I bought australorp pullets from TSC when they were about 2 or 3 days old. They're now 3 weeks old and one girl is slightly larger with a much more yellow beak and larger comb than the others. I...

My fullgrown Australorp hen has had one of her eyes closed that she can still open and looks puffy compared to her other eye. She's been like this since we woke up (4 hours). Prior to this she was lethargic she wasn't eating or drinking and we treated her with some antibiotics for a week then...

Any ideas what genders these four black australorps may be? For a while we thought 2 of each and then it looked like maybe 4 of each and now I’m not 100% sure on the two that may be roos but may just hens that are maturing earlier than the other two. These photos were taken a week ago at roughly...
