I started with five of these, but am now down to one.  They seem to be the least hardy of my Mediterranean breeds.  That being said, anconas are some of my favorites.  They have very interesting personalities, even as young chicks.  They are adventurous and are often the first to approach and try something new--whether it be a treat or an object, they are usually the first to peck at it.  They do not seem to do as well in a free range situation as some others, though, tending to stay close to home.  They lay a good sized white egg.
