Why Choose Our Austra White Hatching Eggs?

We meticulously manage our breeding flocks to ensure the highest hatch rates and chick vitality. Therefore, every egg we ship represents our commitment to quality and animal welfare.

Unmatched Egg Production from White Egg Layers

The primary reason for the Austra White’s popularity is its incredible productivity. These birds are prolific white egg layers, often outperforming many purebred breeds. In fact, they consistently lay large to extra-large white eggs, making them one of the best chickens for eggs for any small farm or backyard coop. For a comparison with other prolific layers, explore our guide on selecting the right layer for your flock.

The Hardy and Friendly Disposition of Hybrid Layer Chickens

Austra Whites inherit a calm and curious temperament from their Australorp side, making them a joy to have around. Furthermore, they are known for being less flighty than other production breeds, which makes them easier to handle. As a result, they are an excellent choice for families with children. Their hybrid vigor also makes them remarkably hardy and disease-resistant, allowing them to thrive in various climates.

From Our Pasture to Your Incubator

Our parent flocks are raised on open pasture where they enjoy sunshine, fresh air, and a natural diet. This active lifestyle is crucial; it contributes directly to the strength and fertility of the eggs we collect. Moreover, we supplement their forage with a high-quality, organic feed to ensure optimal health. Because of this dedicated care, our Austra White pullets get the healthiest start possible right from the embryo stage.

Successfully Hatching Your Austra White Eggs

Hatching eggs can be a rewarding experience. To ensure your success, we follow strict handling and packaging protocols.

Essential Tips for a Successful Hatch

First, always allow your shipped eggs to rest for at least 12 hours with the pointed end down before setting them in your incubator. This allows the air cell to re-stabilize. Next, maintain a consistent incubator temperature of 99.5°F and a humidity level around 45-55% for the first 18 days. Finally, for detailed guidance, we recommend consulting the comprehensive incubation guide by Murray McMurray Hatchery.

Caring for Your New Austra White Chicks

Once your chicks hatch, they will need a warm brooder, clean water, and starter feed. Additionally, their hybrid genetics mean they are fast-maturing and will likely start laying eggs as early as 18-20 weeks of age.
