    Ancona Chicken Thread

    Quote: We love our little AC she's a great addition to our flock. Not too flighty and not too friendly. My Ancona is one of my friendliest girls. She will hop up on my chair or lap and lives scratches. She is very verbal. If she finds a treat the whole yard knows. It's like she is saying...

    Cute. I was told Dottie was a boy but we kept her. Glad we did. I still get told she is a rooster when people come over. I go "oh wow. I bet I am the only person that has a rooster that lays eggs!"

    Ancona Chicken Thread

    My Ancona found a spot of high grass under the trampoline. She is mottling (There are spotted feathers EVERYWHERE and she has stopped laying for about 3 weeks now. though I think she looks pretty good for being in the middle of a molt. She loves to be scratched on the neck where she cant reach...

    Ancona Chicken Thread

    I have a question. Are Anconas usually smaller that other standards, or do they take longer to grow? Dottie, my ancona pullet, is the smallest and lays the tiniest eggs. One day she laid a normal size egg, when I cracked it open, it was a double yoker lol. (It was the size of a medium egg!) She...

    Ancona Chicken Thread

    My ancona pullet is quite strange. She is the most out going, the first to jump into my lap for treats, but she is crazy. IF she gets a treat off the ground she runs off with it clucking loudly, I swear she is saying "na na na na na" to the other chickens. She is the only one that does it, but...

    Quote: Um, Nava? They're very nice, healthy looking birds, but I don't think any of them are Anconas; their legs are black/blue, not yellow. Same with the beaks, (black instead of yellow) and really, there should be some mottling showing up by that age. So then is my Dottie an Ancona? Or is...

    Quote: Wow what a difference! Is it ok that Dottie is so white, or is that because she is mottled? I just noticed yours are much blacker yours is a little too white might be mixed with something if you look at post #25 you would see a good example of a nice pullet she was 11 weeks old there...

    Ancona Chicken Thread

    We got our Ancona out of the pullet bin at the feed store (they get their chicks from Ideal). It was banded, but many people in the breed/gender section think it is looking rooish. I thought I would show some pictures here and maybe you can give me your oppinion. He/She is 4-5 weeks old. Does...
