4 Week Old Black Australorp

The Black Australorp — popular with homesteaders and small farmers — is available as a juvenile started chick. The Australorp is a dual-purpose breed that can be raised for both egg production and meat. Black Australorps are one of the best light brown egg layers of all the heavy breeds. Pullets mature early, starting to lay between five and six months of age. Australorps are quiet, gentle, and stand confinement well.  

When shipped, these started chicks will be between four and six weeks old. At four weeks old most chicks do not require supplemental heat, so they can be started out directly in your coop. 

Our 4-6 week old chicks are vaccinated for Mareks. They have been watered with Quik Chik, given Gro Gel, and are fed a highly nutritious feed formulated for optimum growth. For safe shipping, the minimum order is 2 birds. You can mix and match any type of 4-6 week old chicks in your order.
