    Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

    Snuvy-you have to be prepared with a least one other brooder (or the ability to set up soon). I prefer to separate my bantams from my large fowl. If you get any non-chickens you will need to eventually separate them out. Turkeys can stay with chicks for a while; they are kind of dumb...

    Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

    I requested no meat birds in mine b/c last year some people got tons of broilers and several people received bb turkeys. I didn't get any bantams, but if you get bantams I am assuming they would have to pack one square of the box with them so you would get 15-25 depending on the type and the...

    Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

    This was in my surprise and I have no idea what it is. As a chick it looked like a chicken chick. Mutant? Not a chicken? IDK

    Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

    I've been gone for what feels like forever because I have been working non-stop for five weeks without a break! How are the chicks all doing? I lost one, a silver laced polish that was fragile from the beginning. It wouldn't eat or drink and slowly wasted away; wouldn't even eat when I hand...

    Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

    What are the standard sized feather footed birds that Cackle sells? I have about four chicks that are white with feathered feet. On first glance I said Cochin. Today I noticed they don't have a straight comb and their wing feathers are coming in splotchy black. Four toes, pink skin. Help! lol

    Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

    I was thinking that Cackle only sold non-bearded? I guess I am wrong The one that looks splash is just washed out from the flash. It is a bit lighter than the others, but I think it is still a white crested black. I guess I will see eventually!! This group are all straight combed and...

    Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

    I am thinking all of these are Polish. I know nothing about Polish. 16 total in this "Top Hat" set. GOLD LACED? White? Really weird b/c its "poof" is tiny. The wing feathers are reddish and the nostrils are cavernous.. It has clean legs. Gold Laced? Not sure they are Polish b/c...

    Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

    Mine came! I got two Rouen ducks (I think), and about 51 chicks (they noted on my packing slip that they packed 53 total), all large fowl. 10 or more Polish, 6 or more EE, 10 or more feathered legs which I am assuming are cochins, and some others I haven't identified. Looks like I got almost...

    Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

    My last shipment of regular birds was 5 lbs and had 2 turkeys, 11 spitzhauben, 6 ee, 18 cochin bantams, 1 NH Red and came in a two compartment box. My biggest problem right now is that I got some ee chicks from TSC (Mt. Healthy) who had AE which spread and killed 60 chicks in my other...

    Spitzhauben for the second picture for sure. I have 11 of them from Cackle in my laundry room right now. They are super escape artists!

    My post office asks me to open my shipments in their presence since they are insured. Even provides scissors for the tape. I really hope they make it for you!
