This breed originated in Australia developed from Black Orpingtons

 imported from England; and the emphasis of the breeding program

 was on egg production without sacrificing too much in size and meat

 quality. Some sensational results were made in the Australian program,

and one hen set a laying record of 364 eggs in 365 days. Introduced into

 this country in the 1920's, they have become useful and popular and are

 certainly one of the best layers of light brown eggs of all the heavy breeds.

 A flock of Black Australorps with their glossy black plumage which has a

 greenish-purple sheen and their larger than average bright red combs make

 an unusually handsome sight. They are big birds, cockerels weighing 6 to 8

 pounds at maturity and pullets 5 to 7.  Pullets mature early and many will be

 in production between 5 and 6 months of age. We have handled this breed for

two years and we have been  very pleased with them.
