How adorable @Ruralhideaway

Thank you. I'm enjoying a spring full of all kinds of feathered babies, they are great!

Thanks, I did not know this. Could you or some of the other explain what leakage is?

Blue is a dilution of black. So some blues (any breed that comes in blue) can have black leakage. This is where black feathers sneak through the blue.

With anconas, you also find chocolate leakage in lilacs and sometimes lavenders also

I had a gorgeous silver magpie named Cupcake:

I just set more eggs from the same breeder so I'm hoping to get more magpies

She's a beauty!

Where are you located? They are adorable! I would be interested in purchasing 2 or 3 but am located in Massachusetts. We had 2 Anconas but sadly just lost one this week to a coyote and now my female is so lonely in her pen.

I am located in southern Maine so may not be far from you!
I will have eggs and ducklings for sale this spring once they start laying. These "mini anconas" are SO cute. I love them!
I also breed standard sized anconas if you end up looking for some. I have a few ducklings I hatched out new years day. I am going to grow them out a little before I decide if they are keepers or not. I can keep you in mind if you'd like if I end up selling any!

Please keep me posted. I would be interested in both! Thank you.

If you'd like PM me your name and what you would be interested in. That way I can put you on my list for this season and will contact you when they are ready to discuss more!
