ancona

I’m selling my female lilac looney Muscovy and my female lilac Ancona with heavy chest rust. They’re both from Al’s Quackery, and I have all their birth dates. I’m asking $50 dollars for the Muscovy, $20 for the Ancona, or $60 for both. I’m open to other offers. I’m in CT :)

So we think our ancona layed her first egg earlier today! She's our only white egg chicken and there was a small white egg in front of their coop. She's been making a loud sound I've never heard her do before. She made a little nest spot and sat for a while and did what we thought was egg song...

I need to find a temporary indoor home for my female ancona. We have to move somewhere I cannot have her. This is just temporary on both issues. I will supply everything she needs. I just need her to be safe and warm. She has never been with other ducks, since she was 3 days old.

Hi, We picked up some day olds and were told we had a golden penciled Hamburg, blue Ancona and Old English Game. 8 weeks later and I'm thinking the blue is the OEG and black / white the Ancona? My guess on the sexing is the Hamburg is a hen and the other 2 are going to be roosters. We also...

I have three chickens that I need help sexing/determining breed. - All three are 15 weeks - Order included 2 female Anconas and 1 male Leghorn/1 female Leghorn (lost one as a youngster) Can anyone tell me which is an Ancona and which is a Leghorn?? Characteristics of both are single comb and...

I have 8 healthy 7 week old ducks that need a new home. They are my first ducks and as much as I love them, they're a little too much work for us at the moment. 4 Ancona (2 sexed females, 2 unsexed hatchery extras) 1 female Cayuga 1 female Blue Swedish 2 female Silver Appleyards I would...

I have two Ancona drakes that are ready for a new home, they are currently four months nearing five months old. Both Drakes are beautiful and friendly, both have purple and green feathers mixed in with their black feathers. Raised together, would prefer if bought together. For pets or...

Good morning folks of BYC! My name is Trimurtisan, but to keep it easy, just call me Trim. I did an introduction, but here's some more general information about myself and what's got me going quackers. I am a 36 year old father of eight, although only two of those happen to be human. We...

My precious male pete passed away. Its been very very hard for me and for his mate. He was a very gentle boy so i worry about getting her another male who may be agressive... she was more of petes protector than the other way around. Should i get her a duck of the same breed? And should i get...

On the 30th of last month I was given a 2 day old duckling that had leg problems (it couldn't stand or walk). Long-ish story short, it was niacin deficient but is now perfectly fine and living in a Rubbermaid in my bedroom until my other ducks and geese hatch. The girl who hatched him got the...

I hatched 3 precious Ancona ducklings over the weekend! First one named “Doctor” hatched on its own with the exception of my making a safety hole after internal pipping. I’m wondering what color doctor could be considering the s/he is ALL YELLOW AND PINK!!! Literally no markings whatsoever. And...

Hey! I'm starting this thread to document my brooding and raising of chicks for the year. Feel free to join in for the ride! Lots of pictures will be included. :p

So while cuddling my chickens I recently noticed that my Ancona laying hen has 5 toes on one foot? She seems completely normally other than the fact that only one of her foot has an extra toe.

On August 11th I got a Ancona chick from our local feed store as I thought it'd be nice to add a new different bird to the flock. She was bought along with 2 blue wyandottes and they're all 6 wks old now. They've been outside for 3 wks and the older birds have already gotten use to them...

I am looking to add a black or blue Ancona hen to my pet flock ideally by next spring. She will be spoiled with love while living together with 1 Ancona drake and 2 female ducks. They spend time in a clean and secure run and free range while I am outside. If all goes well, she may even have the...

I got my first batch of shipped eggs, Ancona duck eggs. I’ll probably updating with candling pics after day seven, the air cells are detached. Some are ruptured. Any suggestions for those?

1 year ago today we received 22 chicks from Murray McMurray Hatchery. All were alive on arrival and still are today. When I was researching before ordering chicks, all I could find were horror stories. This post is for those folks who are searching before they order so that they know not all...

Introducing Marble and Mini, my new ducklings! They're 9 days old, we got them two days ago, any tips on bonding? So far they just bite us constantly and scream , doesn't hurt but we don't want them to be scared of us like this.
