Mine lay well even when it's hot, but they have alot of shade and huge area to roam over, so maybe they don't get too stressed from the heat? You have to watch them, as soon as warm weather arrives, they hang back from going inside so they can sleep in the cedars. They're like children who don't want to go to bed. (they're really the same way in the winter too, but I'm less tolerant of their camping out.)
Okladoodle, I also got my first Anconas from McMurray.
And then, after my DH had poured antifreeze out beside the driveway and 2/3rds of them died when they ingested tainted gravel, I got my second ones from them too. (AhHa! There *is* a poison that will kill a chicken) Plenty of people got their start in rare breeds from McM over the years.
About a decade ago, someone at a show offered me a trio of Ancona bantams, but I prefer large fowl and gave it a pass. You could probably find some in the NPIP yearbook for exhibition poultry.
