The Black Australorp is originally from Australia and became internationally popular in the 1920s for their strong egg laying. They are a large, soft-feathered bird with glossy black feathers having a green tint. They have a single comb with five points that stand upright. Black Australorps are considered to be a docile bird and a good dual purpose breed. Well maintained hens can lay approximately 250 eggs annually.
