Absolutely lovely birds! Had them all my life, my entire family loves them.

Most of them have a great temperament, our hens have been absolutely amazing layers in every single generation so far, and we always had many roosters to choose from who were all great with the hens and mostly good with humans too.

Many people call them ugly but I think they are gorgeous! Their unique look is why I originally fell in love with them and I cannot recommend them enough! :love

I've been looking for a carrier like this forever. I brood in our basement and wanted something to carry my pullets to and fro on their field trips to the chicken pen. We'd been using a plastic tote, but it was hard to wrangle everyone back inside without several escaping out the top. This solves all my problems and more!

There are zippered access points at the top (for easy removal) and the side (for stuffing them in). The soft sides mean they won't hurt themselves if they flail around. It holds all seven of my 10 week-old bantams without bowing at the bottom and fits through narrow doors. The carrier comes with a soft pad, but you could add shavings for easier cleanup (and there's no risk of them getting kicked out, thanks to the fine mesh).

It folds flat when you're done (unlike a hard-sided carrier), and the product comes with a thick canvas bag to store it in.

Super happy, 10/10, and my chicken duties are just that much easier with this awesome carrier!

I don’t recommend this for your chickens as it is not a super effective product and only works on very few types of bacteria. I understand it has been “used for years”. We used to do bloodletting as a treatment for illness, too, but have moved on as we gained new and better knowledge. There are better products out there that work and don’t turn your chickens, or you, into a smurf.

I really like this, works well.

Once of the better options for chick feeders, does have some cons though.

Would recommend if you want some cool eggs, and are interested in some interactions but not a super attention seeking breed.

This is good before it rusts, but after it does, it's horrible.

Also, since it holds so much water, your chickens are drinking old water since you don't have to refill it often.

Chickens were not healthy or laying eggs when fed this food.

Very sweet and gentle.

Have owned Australops for 5 years and love them.

These birds are the funniest, silliest, most enjoyable chickens I have ever owned. The ones I've had have been pretty good egg layers, even in the winter.
