Feedback for our ancona please 💗

[ChookFam]

Hi!

We have a mixed flock and have recently started doing a little bit of chicken showing.

My young child has an ancona which they are smitten with and win first place in juniors with it today but I have a feeling it was the only one in the category

I wonder if someone may give us some feedback on her in regards to SOP? She is our only ancona and my chicken showing circle is quite limited so I don't have any ancona connections yet

I'm confused about her colouring, she isn't really a red or black, but I haven't come across other colourations for anconas via google? I have wondered if she is pure or not or maybe there's something like maran in there giving her that neck colour?

Amy feedback would be truly appreciated so we can continue our learning.

Thank you

She has really good mottling, but it looks like she may have leakage on her neck? Can you get a closer picture of those feathers?

I never saw this mention. I see you are Australian, our Anconas are very different, plus the username.
She looks like a cross between a red Ancona and a black Ancona, so while she has nice type and really good mottling, she isn’t good quality.

 Thankyou for your feedback I appreciate it. I had wondered if she could be a red x black as well. She is our only one and won't be bred with, just a pet, but my daughter enjoyed winning the junior class with her don't tell her she was the only entrant
