thanks for the answers. Will say about 8 years ago we ordered some Ancona chicks from MM, and they grew up to be CRAZY--- but just like the description-they were true to form. I would not have them again......you could really never "bond" to them.

Crazy? Like chase you around your yard and peck out your eyes crazy? Just Kidding

Do you think that breed is kinda of sico do to inbreeding?

Hatcheries may do that to keep certain traits for rare breeds.

Just a thought.
