The Australorp is a chicken breed of Australian origin, developed as a utility breed with a focus on egg laying and is famous for laying more than 300 eggs per year. It achieved world-wide popularity in the 1920s after the breed broke numerous world records for number of eggs laid and has been a popular breed in the western world since.[4] It is one of eight poultry breeds created in Australia and recognised by the Australian Poultry Standards.[citation needed] The most popular colour of the breed is black, which is the only colour recognised in the United States of America,[4] but blue and white are also recognised in Australia[5] and the Poultry Club South Africa recognises buff, splash, wheaten laced and golden in addition.[6]
