Ancona or Mottled Java

[Mimi Clucks]

Ok, since I brought her home, I thought she was an Ancona because of the nugget shape she had on her back. Come to find out, Mottled Java’s have the same shape as chicks! Now that she’s a year old I’m leaning more towards Mottled Java. She is my favorite hen and I have an opportunity to get mottled Java chicks next week. But I’m not confident that’s what she is. What do you think?

She does look like a mottled Java. I’d think an Ancona would have a more leghorn-ish body shape.

I've had Aconas before and she doesn't look like one at all to me.

Thank you for your quick response!

Thank you so much!! That’s a huge help!

Looks similar to my Javas too, has the correct earlobe color. Her tail carriage seems a bit high but since she's been overmated and lost her cushion, this might exaggerate it. Egg color tan/brown I assume?
