Ancona Eggs- Happy Birthday to me!

[pishposh]

For my birthday next month, my husband has purchased an Hova-Bator Genesis (1588) - with automatic turner and 12 Ancona eggs! We plan on trying to get a breeding, show-quality pair and sell some eggs and possibly ducklings! Of course a few will join my flock!

I am so excited! Anyone have experience with Anconas?

I AM SO JEALOUS!!!!!!! Ive been wanting Anconas for years!!! I know a few people on here have them but none have laying hens yet or else the drake isnt doing his job or they dont ship eggs

SO... you know you want to sell me some eggs next year..

I have had then and loved them, very nice ducks! However they aren't considered a Standard duck for shows. A lot of the old fuds claim they are nothing but mismarked Magpies and resist the standardization process. There is nothing cuter than a Ancona duckling with its spots in amazing places.

Keep your fingers crossed that I will have eggs next ear to sell!
