🦆 Ancona
Ducks · breed reference
Every bird is mottled differently and no two match — that variation IS the breed. Lays white, cream, blue, green or spotted, sometimes all from one flock, and forages hard enough to be worth turning loose in an orchard. NOT the Ancona chicken: same name, different country, no relation.
