Description
Austra White Chickens are a cross between a Black Australorp rooster and a White Leghorn hens. Austra Whites were first developed in the 1900’s. This cross produces offspring that are very good layers throughout the year and lay a large off white/cream color egg. The Austra Whites are primarily white birds with random black flecks and streaks. They are a heavier bird and a lot less flighty then a straight leghorn. Austra Whites have sturdy, heavy bodies, with red combs and wattles. This hybrid cross makes a great dual purpose bird for meat and eggs.
