Ancona1|ænˈkəʊnə| [Name of a town in Italy.] A breed of domestic fowl characterized by black and white mottled plumage and leaden-grey shanks.
1853Wingfield & Johnson Poultry Bk. 110 The Ancona is a first cousin to the Minorca, its sole point of difference being a mottled or splashed plumage, black and white, in about equal proportions. 1873L. Wright Bk. Poultry 357 We entertain scarcely any doubt that the origin of Anconas is to be found in accidental ‘sports’ of this colour from crossing Black and White Minorcas. 1960Farmer & Stockbreeder 8 Mar. 135/1 One of my Ancona bantams lays eggs with blood spots. |
