This is my first time buying hatchery chicks.
I chose Cackle because they are the closest to my location.
I love their customer service.
All chicks arrived healthy and very active.
I ordered their white crested black Polish chicks.

Hi,
I ordered my Buff Orphington flock from Cackle Hatchery. I liked their customer service and the chicks arrived
healthy and they have done wonderful thus far. They are a little over a year old now. I would recommend them
to anyone who is looking for a good hatchery to order from.


Here is a pic of the little ones right after we got them and put them in the brooder.

I ordered the city-town pullet special (5 chicks) from Cackle, they arrived last week. So far, one has some sort of pelvic deformity/hernia, basically it looks like her abdomen is down between her legs, I don't know if she'll make it to POL and if she does, if she'll even be able to lay. And I'm suspicious that one is a cockerel, although it's really early to tell. You can see pics at the below links... I don't know if it's just bad luck on my part, but with the extra shipping for the small order, these guys weren't cheap.

Note: Just wanted to add I have spoken to Cackle, there's not much they can do but Jackie was at least interested enough to listen, ask around for suggestions, request pictures, and is going to put a note in the computer. So no complaints about their customer service!

Edited to add note

We order from Cackle almost every year, mainly guineas as they run to the river bottom or predators take their toll. Every year the ladies there are SO professional and nice to work with, they have gotten growing pains in the past but worked thru it, all I can say is I feel any gripes about them from certain people on Dave's have been way too critical-- they're one of the BEST by far. Another is Country Hatchery in OK-- Dennis and Matthew Smith are awesome fellas!

With the exception of several sexed pullets being cockerels, I have been very happy with the colors and health of my chicks from Cackle. Most have been Easter Eggers.
