Meet Russell Crow (no relation to the actor Russell Crowe, but just as gorgeous). Russell and his three brothers are from a hatch from Mucky Boots Farm's champion BLUE AUSTRALORP stock. Australorps are a large, dual purpose, heritage breed known for their docile temperament and fluffy feathers. The cockerels make great eating at about 20-22 weeks, the age of these fellas. So whether you'd like them for dinner or to charm your hens and add to your breeding stock, (Australorps,are well known for their egg laying abilities. In the 1920's one hen set a world record laying 364 eggs out of 365 days!! On average though Australorp hens will lay between 250 to 295 eggs each year) these roosters will fit the bill (no pun intended)
