The Australorp chicken is a popular breed among chicken keepers due to its hardiness, friendly personality, and high egg production. Originating in Australia, the Australorp was developed in the early 20th century and a cross-breed of Black Orpingtons imported from England and Rhode Island Red. The name Australorp is coined from Australian black Orpington. The breed was explicitly intended to be a dual-purpose breed, which means it is excellent for both egg and meat production.
