Ancona Chicken Thread

Just wanted to throw in a kudo/advertisement for farmerChef's hatching eggs, including Anconas: Great Fertility and Hatch rate at my house!

Thanks farmerChef!

I wish - unfortunately she isn't free ranged out of my sight. She just hasn't started yet.

Is she free range, she might be hiding eggs somewhere. Maybe you could keep an eye on her for a day and see if you can see where she goes.

Hello! I thought it about time I added pics of my lovely Freckles now that she's almost grown up. She hatched on 17th December so I guess she's about 18 weeks old now. She has a lovely nature and gets on really well with her coop-mates. Shown here with Lacey the Light Sussex and Cinnamon the Welsummer.

Pretty! So are the others, too! What is the brown/gold on the left?

The one on the left is a Welsummer, and the little dark head poking through at the far left is Nutmeg, our Barnevelder. When the four are all ranging together they are such a pretty lot! <3

Hi I finally found the Ancona thread. I only have 1 right now but would LOVE to get more. Of all our chicks ( 9 weeks old now - 24 of them) my fave is our Ancona. She comes right us to the kids and I and is perfectly content being carried and picked up. When we bend down she quickly jumps on our shoulder. Here are a few pics. Her name is Speckles and is my DS's favorite chick also.

I read a post quite a few pages back about someone asking if Ancona's were flighty. I cant find the post again so here is my response lol.

Hi Apyl!!

Haha - oh yeah my AC loves to fly up - particularly to get on my back. I have to watch it around her or the next thing I know she's standing on my head! She also loves to be petted - not sure why she's become so lovey dovey because she used to avoid me. Maybe she's getting ready to lay soon? That would be nice as she's turning 39 weeks this Weds!
