i used to have them and i liked them i had Lavender, Black, Dun/Khaki i sold mine to kswaterfowl, ive said this like ten times i wish i still had them now!
I knwo fo two people on here with them : AuroraSprings and someone else i cant remember right now. AuroroaSprings has hatching eggs fro sale I believe
I wish I had anconas too!!! I have made my Own little "hybrid ancona look a likes" though that are still pretty.
I ordered Anconas from Holderread's last Spring, and I like them. These are my first ducks, and I have no personal experience with other breeds, but I can tell you a few things about them. I get about 4 eggs a day from 15 ducks, without providing any artificial light. I had a huge slug problem last year, but these Anconas eliminated that problem in short order. They are active foragers and wander over a large part of 9 acres in search of munchies. They are also a good size for eating, so they make a good dual-purpose bird.
Here's a pic:

Love your Ducks darwish!
Wish I had them! If I got some then I would just want them for pets not for meat! Thanks for the pic and info!

We got our baby Ancona's from Strombergs last year and we picked up a few adults from a local breeder before that. Mine are not too loud, unless startled or looking for a treat. Like darwish said they are active foragers and will find their own food when it is available. Ours are lit, and we get about 10-11 eggs a day with 13 girls. They are not too skittish, mine fly about 3 feet off the ground for 20 feet or so when the mood strikes, and are not fans of change. We have blacks, chocolates, and tri colored. I desperately want some blues and a chocolate male...anyone who has either of those in IL, IN, or MI, pm me.
They are great ducks.

10-11 eggs from 13 ducks, with lights? Yikes, maybe I should get moving and run electric out to the coop!
