Black Australorp Started Pullet

Welcome the elegant and hardworking Black Australorp to your backyard flock! Our 15-20 week-old Black Australorp Started Pullets are a perfect choice for those seeking a beautiful, productive, and gentle breed. These birds are celebrated for their glossy black feathers that shimmer with iridescent shades of green, purple, and blue in the sunlight, making them a striking presence in any flock.

Black Australorps are renowned for their exceptional egg-laying abilities, with hens producing between 200 and 280 large, light-brown eggs annually. Their record-breaking history includes one legendary hen that laid 364 eggs in 365 days! At 15-20 weeks old, these started pullets are just about ready to begin laying, giving you a head start on enjoying fresh eggs.

In addition to their productivity, Black Australorps are a dual-purpose breed, making them a practical choice for those seeking both eggs and meat. Roosters typically weigh up to 10 pounds, while hens range from 6.5 to 8 pounds, offering both beauty and utility in one package.

Raised in a free-range environment, our Black Australorp Started Pullets thrive while foraging for bugs and greenery. Their untrimmed beaks allow for natural feeding behavior, and they are supplemented with all-natural feed to ensure optimal growth and health. These pullets are vaccinated for Marek’s Disease, arriving strong, healthy, and ready to join your flock.

Black Australorps are loved not only for their productivity but also for their calm and friendly temperament. While they might be a little shy at first, these birds quickly adapt and become social members of the flock. Their gentle nature makes them an excellent choice for families, especially those with children, and they integrate easily with other breeds.

To keep your Black Australorps happy and healthy, provide ample space to forage and some extra shade during hot summer months to keep them comfortable in their dark plumage. With proper care, these birds will reward you with years of beauty, eggs, and companionship.
