Quick shipping, healthy chicks and a happy repeat customer! Our go to for chicks is **********************

Thank you for sharing your feedback!

This is my 2nd time ordering from Cackle Hatchery. The first time was a great experience. I had ordered about 18 sexed layers and they were all healthy and all females. This time I ordered an assortment of 16 chicks (all but 4 being sexed) and I got 8 roosters....not what I was hoping for! They were all healthy though, just too many boys!!

I'm very sorry you're unhappy with your experience however, there was only one breed ordered sexed and you ordered 4 of them, the Black Laced Silver Wyandottes. The remaining breeds ordered, White Crested Black Polish, Crazy Cackle Toppies, and the F2 Olive Eggers are all offered straight run only at the time you placed your order. Unfortunately, we do not guarantee a ration on straight run breeds.

Our 10 hens and 1 rooster have thrived, are very lovely, healthy birds, and are now giving us 6-7 eggs per day at week 21. The Dominiques are a very sweet breed, will eat out our hands, but are not thrilled to be picked up. They are curious however and will jump on your lap voluntarily. We haven't yet had any problems with them. They are so good to put themselves to bed each night. Our 5 geese are doing well but there is one we named "***" who seems to struggle a bit. He (we think he is a he) is larger than the others and seems to have a little trouble getting his big body moving around as easily as the other four do. He's always the last one in line and the other geese almost seem to shame him. One female is experimenting with flying and can get up in the air about 20 feet and out of the fenced area quite easily. After escaping one day, she met up with the neighbor's very large dog. She lost a few feathers but luckily we were on the spot to mitigate any serious harm. The dog really just wanted to play with the goose, but he is a very big, but nice dog and very much like a bull in a china closet. The encounter did scare the goose enough so that for now she stays in the two-acre fenced area, but does like to fly from one end to the other, always stopping at the fenceline.

We got our assortment of 15 hens back in ************ doing great theyre gorgeous birds we named and love them all & we get beautiful colored eggs from them. ??

Thank you for the feedback and update!

The Blue Slate Turkey I received is beautiful. I ordered just one Blue Slate with this group along with three other turkey breeds but will be ordering more next time.

Thank you for the update!

Ordered 4 female lavender Americanas and they arrived healthy and so cute. They are very sweet birds who come to their names and love to be held. They are 5 months old and should be laying any day now. We expect blue eggs any day now. We bought 3 other chicken breeds and they all are living their best chicken life in our big run and coop. Its been a week and now they are laying in the nesting boxes we built. We would definitely buy from cackle hatchery again. They are all 13 females that were shipped.

My daughter fell in love with Jubilee Orpingtons. After much research, we chose Cackle Hatchery and were very pleased we did. We ordered 10 straight run and were pleasantly surprised to receive 12. Six pullets and six roosters. They are gorgeous, pleasant birds. The roosters are calm. The coloring as they matured is beautiful! We are looking forward to the hens to start laying shortly. My daughter calls them her "Fancy Birds"!Thank you Cackle Hatchery for offering the Jubilees! We love them!

Thank you for sharing your experience!

Got three olive egg chicks. Unfortunately they were un-sexed and all three turned out to be roosters, so there will be no olive eggs to enjoy. In fact the majority of chicks received turned out to be roosters. I will not buy any egg layers in the future that are not sexed.

I'm sorry you had this experience! Unfortunately, this is the risk taken with ordering straight run.

Lavender Orpingtons were ordered in May of this year. We've had chickens for three years now and really love the Buff Orps so I thought I would add some color. The new addition ( 3) have turned out swell. All our chickens are able to free range a good few hours a day ( we even have hawk nets in open areas) so I think the stimulation of this, and the nutritional advantage, has helped all of them grow to astronic size. They integrate very well with the original flock of 2 Americanas ( bossy and sort of aggressive), a couple of Buff Orps, a Brahma hen and a Brahma rooster. They are sociable, docile, very quiet and, of course beautiful. No negatives.We also ordered some Black Silver Laced Wyandotte's and Welsummers. Both of those breeds have been great as well. The Wy's are beautiful and get along with everybody and the Welsummers are totally entertaining. They are small, rather outgoing, and "talk alot."Very happy with ALL the hens were ordered.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience.

Great looking birds. Pretty plumage. Easy to take care of and the one extra was a plus. This hatchery is the best. Easy ordering and pickup.

Thanks for leaving a great review!
