Our breed

Meet the Black Australorp.

ODM raises the Black Australorp — an Australian dual-purpose breed known for its glossy beetle-green-black plumage, calm nature, and standout free-range performance. It is one of the world's great brown-egg layers and grows into honest, full-flavoured table birds.

Dual-purpose bird

Bred for both quality meat and eggs, so every Australorp earns its place on a free-range farm.

Prolific brown-egg layer

Australorps are famous layers — hens can produce well over 250 brown eggs a year in good conditions.

Calm and hardy

A docile, adaptable breed that handles South African conditions and outdoor life with ease.

Natural foragers

Active on the range, they thrive on outdoor access — exactly the system ODM is built around.

The bird

Free-range commercial birds — managed without chemical shortcuts.

ODM focuses on free-range meat chickens given outdoor access and raised without routine antibiotics or growth promoters. The result is chicken that cooks clean, tastes of careful farming, and supports a premium free-range position in your shop or menu.

We are not selling brine-heavy commodity poultry. We are selling birds whose value comes from how they lived — space, feed quality, and responsible health management.
