• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Australorp male and white leg horn female

The Austra White is a cross between a Black Australorp rooster and a White Leghorn hen. They were first developed in the early 1900's. This cross produces offspring that are very good layers throughout the year and lay a large off-white/cream color egg. There are many benefits raising baby chickens from this cross. These hens will lay a lot of large eggs. Hence, option C is correct.
