not sure what breed i have.

[kelsey]

i have three chickens that i think are Anconas but im not sure. they look kind of like speckled sussex but are black. they are about 3 months i think. ive looked on the internet for pictures of them at about two and a half months but cant find any good pictures. i havent had a chance to take a picture of them yet but i will as soon as i get the chance. if you have any pictures of anconas at any age please post them.. thanks

Don't know if you saw the FeatherSite page.. http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry///CGA/Anc/BRKAncona.html

There's also the Mottled Java, similar to Anconas but heavier and with red earlobes. http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGD/Java/BRKJava.html

They could also be excheuqer leghorns. They have white and black feathers, Anconas have black feathers with white tips

Excheuqer leghorn(from feathersite)

An ancona rooster and 3 hens (my birds)

See the difference??

What color are their earlobes?

 

[kelsey]

I think the earlobes are white, ill check again whew I see them and take some pictures to upload. They look like anconas but they have more white on their chest than black. I'm not sure if this is because thay are still young or not

These are mine. I have two Anconas.
One at a few days old

One at 4-5 months old

And both now at over 1yr old

As adults they have mottled feathers and legs (yellow legs with black spots)
