The Blue Australorp is one of the most eye-catching breeds we offer at Valley Farms Hatchery. Known for their beautiful slate-blue plumage and reliable laying ability, these birds combine productivity with elegance. Their soft, shimmering feathers give off a silver-blue sheen that makes them a standout in any flock.
Blue Australorps are excellent layers of large brown eggs, often producing through the cooler months when other breeds slow down. Renowned known for egg production, laying 250-280 eggs per year, averaging 4-6 eggs per week. They’re also gentle and easy to handle, making them a great fit for families, backyard flocks, or small farms.
Valley Farms Hatchery has selectively bred the Black Australorp since 2024.
