Baby Chicks: Austra White

The Austra White is a tremendous layer, a cross between a White Leghorn and a Black Australorp. Adults are white with flecks of black, as if the ink has been dripped onto their feathers.  The hens are calmer than leghorns have a reputation for. Austra whites are excellent layers of large, cream-colored eggs with a docile, even temperament.  Related Articles: How to Identify Baby Chicks with Leg Bands Baby Chick Identification Photos Baby Chicks: Behind the Scenes What to know about Marek's disease vaccine We offer the Marek's Disease vaccine on the checkout page.  Related articles: Should I get my birds vaccinated? and All about Marek's disease.
