Ancona

My Ancona is 7 weeks old. She is absolutly one of my favorites. Our Ancona is actually my 5yo sons chick, he originally chose the Barred Rock but it was no where near as social as the Ancona chick so now Speckles is my sons. She allows him to pick her up constantly. She doesnt run away and will just stand there for him. She is so friendly and makes the weirdest noise. She doesnt "chirp" like the other chicks, it more of a humming. Its hard to explain. Ancona's are deffinitly in my top breeds.

My Anconas are only 2 weeks old but of all the breeds (7) in my brooder, these are the friendliest.  They rush to stand on my palm for a ride up to see everything from a bird's eye view.

great breed. out of 20, had no problems.lost none. had no frostbite.

Of the white egg layers, these are among my favorites. Very pretty, hardy and I think they are among the best layers of large white eggs.
