The Ancona is a relatively rare chicken breed. It has a beautiful "mottled" color pattern of black with white spots, and the American Poultry Association accepts both Single Comb & Rose Comb varieties. (Ours is a single comb.) 

Like other Mediterranean chicken breeds, Anconas are closely feathered, active, good foragers, and good layers.
