I just got a shipment of chicks in today from Ideal poultry and I think I may have recieved an Ancona, does this look like one to you guys?

Thanks!

Yes! an Ancona thread! I've met the last Ancona in South Africa what a graceful hen she is. I really like this breed, but with only 1 bird in the whole of SA, it's difficult.

Anyway I love your Ancona hen Nava

I just received my assorted chicks from Sandhill and they sent me 6 Anconas! I'm so happy, I really like this breed

This is Anna, she didn't make it to her first molt, as she was taken by a predator.
