The Black Australorp was developed in Australia as a dual purpose breed.  You can say its a tri-purpose breed because it is also good for brooding. They are excellent layers and a good size.  These are a very friendly chicken well suited for kids or any backyard chicken keeper.  They are predominately black with a single comb and red face.  Australorps are fun to watch and a joy to keep. This is a cold hardy 4 toed chicken that can easily be confined or let free range.
