Famous as layers of good sized white eggs, non-setters, these beautiful chickens have lustrous black plumage with white tips on every few feathers. They are about the same size to a little heavier than Leghorns. The dark color and active temperament make them a good bird to raise where hawks, owls, and animal predators are a problem because they do not show up like white breeds; and they are very quick and alert. They are an old breed in the Mediterranean Class, coming from the area around Ancona, Italy via England to the United States by the late 1800's. Baby chicks are very bright and snappy looking with their approximately half and half combination of black and white patches. Click to Enlarge

	Customer Product Reviews   My Grandmother and I had purchased several varieties of chicks from you over thirty years ago. We always had good results with them, as well as countless hours of fun watching the unusual varieties take shape! Last year, I was able to order some Anconas for my children to enjoy raising. They were beautiful, healthy chicks and have made wonderful layers of large white eggs. We have gathered eggs everyday since they started laying, right through the winter. Thanks for the wonderful experience then and now.     These birds are great. The males are very watchful over the hen for danger and the hens take care of each other really well. The birds learn very fast and get along good with other breeds of birds. They accept new birds in there flock well also. They are very healthy and fun to work with. Thank you Warrens Wi     In the last group of chicks I got were two Anconas. What sweet and easy birds. Although a bit jumpy, once trust is formed they are your pals. My two follow me around the yard, fly up onto my arm or shoulder when I am filling the feed cans and love to eat out of my hand! They don't like to be pet or handled but like to be around you. Great birds! I can't wait for them to begin laying which will be any day now.

Did You Know? A batch of eggs that are hatched together is called a clutch.
