Oo, anconas! When I ordered my magpies, I literally crossed out and re-wrote my order about three times because I couldn't decide between anconas and magpies. Anconas are slightly larger than magpies and produce slightly fewer eggs per year (on average). But their wild patterns are totally cool...
As babies (nothing cuter!):
As adults:
(Some of those are runners--the magpies have all-white bellies and large patches of black or blue on the back and top of head; the one with a white chest but blue underneath is a runner---magpies are ALL white on belly and chest)
Depends entirely on what you want them for.
But just off the top of my head? I'd say magpie. Or ancona. Or welsh harlequin. Or call. Or runner. Or.... wait....
Okay, let's go with magpie for a minute:
1. They're gorgeous. Stunning black, blue, or chocolate on a black background. Classic duck...
