Description
The Aquila is a cross between the Black Australorp and Rhode Island Red, with a little White Plymouth Rock mixed in. Their adult coloring is usually very similar to the Black Australorp, having the iridescent shimmer. But they can also have some red come through from the Rhode Island in them. They are a docile dual-purpose bird that are all temperature weather hardy. Chicks are solid black, sometimes with some red in the face, and have dark usually black legs.
