Austra White Chickens

Austra White Chickens are a cross of a Black Australorp cockerel over a White Leghorn pullet. The Austra Whites are then a white bird with black flecks. The breed cross was developed in the early 1900's by a hatchery looking to meet customer demands. Many people want a great white egg layer that is not nervous or flighty. The Austra White fits this because the Australorp is a tame breed which is crossed with Leghorns which are the efficient white egg layers. The Austra White is also heavier than the White Leghorn.
