    Does anybody have any Australorp chooks and a rooster to sell or give away. I live on the Northside of Brisbane at NINGI will travel a fair distance for the right birds.

    Yandina feed barn have Australorp chicks ($4,50ea).
    The guy at the counter says they all come from a breeder in Ipswich. These are the Australian bred black chooks of gentle disposition and are a heavy bird that lay a decent sized light brown egg. I'm sure these birds are widely available in SE Queensland amongst amongst rural supplies stores.

    We contacted the Australorp Assoc and got onto a couple of breeders on the southside. They were really helpful. Or you could wait until the Ekka and get some breeder contacts then.

    Cheers,

    If you have not been able to get your australorp chicks so far, try https://www.farmstock.com.au

    There are regular posts of breeders selling chicks or pullets.

    Good luck.
