There’s something quietly wonderful about watching a Black Australorp settle into your backyard flock — calm, curious, and already acting like she owns the place. One of the most reliable laying breeds you can raise, Australorps are beloved for their steady temperament and consistent production of light brown eggs, making them a thoughtful choice for backyard flocks, homesteads, and breeding programs alike.
Chicks are hatchery-sourced and available February through October. Order minimums vary by season: 25 chicks January–March, 15 in April, and 6 May–September. Webster City hatchery pickup minimum is 6 chicks. Birds ship via USPS Priority Mail or Priority Express (typically 2–3 business days), with limited regional door-to-door delivery in parts of the Midwest. Different poultry types ship separately and must each meet their own minimums.
Have your brooder fully set up before your chicks arrive. Report any live-arrival or livability concerns by phone within 48 hours. Changes or cancellations must be requested by 12:00 PM Central the Friday before scheduled delivery. All live-animal sales are final once fulfillment is booked.
