of wood or brick or cement will serve
the double purpose of protection from
north winds and a support on which to

The hens are ron-sttters except in rare
instances. ard Anconas' eggs must ~
hatched either by hene or other breeds
or by artificial meane
The chicks develop and feather rapidly
like the Leshorns and speedily reach lay
ing maturity. 1t Is not unusual for early
Matched pullets to las at four months
of age.
This breed does best on free range, a.
though many have splendid results from
them when kept In confinement. The hena
are nervous and wild and hard to keep
within the confines of yard unless their
wings are clipped or the run Is entirely
covered over with poultry netting
Anconas have met with great favor in
America and there are several hundred
breeders in two or three Anconas clubs
