Try number 2, my replacement shipment. 51 chicks... all alive.. direct into the brooders. Happy again. I know others have said they've had problems with customer service making things right, but not me. Note below that cackle did put grow gel in and the chicks ate it all...

They are reshipping my order week after next. I haven't had a problem with their customer service myself. The lady I spoke with, whom I have ordered from before, said she was sad asked questions about their placement in the box and offered a refund or reship. And knowing I was hoping for ducks...

When I showed up to to the post office this morning to pick up my surprise box the postal worker said she didn't think I was going to be happy. And she was right. The whole surprise box of chicks died in shipping. I apologize if this offends anyone, but I figure it will help if I show a...

I put a teaspoon of honey in the water (mason jar) for the first day myself. It really gives them a boost.

As I have ordered hundreds of chicks from Cackle myself, and I am currently waiting on my 4th surprise, I must chime in hear and say that for the most part, they always have sent me healthy chicks over the past few years. I have only received 3 scissor beaks, and lost about 20 chicks due to...

Last year, late, I ordered a surprise and ended up with 5 guineas, 5 roosters, and I think 42 hens. I think I was lucky though as the majority were all Light Brahmas. I figured someone had cancelled an order.

I received my order of 67 chicks from Ideal Poultry on Friday, and OMG the bantams are so cute! I think something went screwy with the Sumatra hatch. They were just so puny and weak when the shipment arrived. 4 of the 5 died, along with 1 bantam I think was trampled. Good news; the...

More Pic's of my surprise at 8 weeks.

Just thought I'd provide a few pics of my surprise. I'm still not sure what this guy is. It's not a Barred Rock

I told myself I was only going to keep 20 and was going to sell the others on craigslist. But I keep wondering what they are going to look like when grown and haven't put an ad up yet.

Yes, thank you. So those are Guinea Keets. I knew something was up. They were running circles around the chickens. And here I thought they were just VERY noisy bantams. LOL.

Thank you. I must be blind, or things grow quickly because all of the ones you thought might be light Brahma's have feathered feet now. And they are all showing white feathers with dark grey/black pinstriping. Very hungry lil chicks. They easily eat twice what all the other chicks eat. As...

I've been playing with the idea of ordering the Hatchery Surprise for months now. And finally did it. Ordered last weekend, and it was at the post office this morning. I've got to say that I've not had a smoother experience when ordering birds. They were all alive and health looking. 54...

And it was apparently a deficiency issue. AFLAC has gone days without a seizure now. Thanks :)

Interestingly enough, the brewers yeast seems to be working (knock on wood). No seizures in over 24 hours. I hope Weezy is doing just as well.

I will search as you recommended, but for the moment, I put in a 2 inch high wood frame in the bottom wrapped in hardware cloth and then put wood chips on top of it. This way they aren't walkin on wire cloth, but I have drainage. Perkins are messy.

So it took 3 shipments from mcmurray total, but I now have my total order. Plus 3 extra turkey poults. And the three replacement ducklings which arrived this morning are cayugas. They met their commitment by Replacing the loses and gave me a little more variety by not giving me more Pekins...

Two seizures yesterday, but AFLAC seems to be recovering quicker. I think it'll be a few days before I can really tell. God are they messy with their water. I am going to have to put them on wire cloth. I had them on pine bedding and they soak it every night. Lol

I started putting brewers yeast in the water this morning. I'm sure it will take a bit, and I know of at least one seizure my lil buddy has been through today. Hopefully in a few day's, this'll stop. I've decided to name him 'AFLAC'.

They are eating dumor starter/grower. I will get some brewers yeast as well. Thank you!
