Black Australorp Chickens

These were the friendliest chicks we have ever had. They are the ONLY ones to run to me when I reach in the cage. So out of the 15 we ordered plus the 1 bonus, we had 3-4 deaths. Not sure why. I got my money back on 1, but the others waited a day past the deadline to croak, so we were just out the money. It was only September, so not too cold. But once they grew a little and got strong they became the quietest, quick feathering, calmest chicks I've ever had. They seem quick maturing compared to the Easter Egger we have that's the same age. They are great snugglers, and really like to lean into you to fall asleep. Nothing like the skittish EE's, Barred Rocks, RIR, and gold comets I've had in the past. She's only a few months old, but easily my favorite!
