So last year, I got an envelope from cackle hatchery that had a hand-written address- so clearly not a bulk mailing. Since I never have ordered anything from them, curiously, I opened it right away. Inside was a $100 check for a photo contest I won with my three pet BB bronze toms. Pretty cool...
I bought 3 this spring from Murray. I want to buy 3 more now and it is more expensive there. I found buy 3 of the same is cheaper on Cackle Hatchery, but I'm confused about when they will ship. It says chicks until sept. but I want the adult ones (15-20 weeks). However I can't see anywhere that...
Hi friends! I'm hoping for some help in sexing my 2 Wyandotte's (SLW). They'll be 5 weeks old tomorrow. One of them was ordered from Cackle Hatchery as a pullet (in a group of 3 - one of 3 different breeds) and one of them was an extra (free) chick included in the order. Just as a side note, in...

Anyone have Speckled Sussex from Cackle? If you do, egg issues? My girls have always tended to lay strange eggs. Thinner shells (If I find broken ones, it's theirs), the shells all have the "sandpaper" calcium bumps on the pointy end, and now they've lost their pigmentation.
I have 7 SS, 6...
Hello. I’m planing on ordering 3 female runner ducklings in the next couple of months. Possibly hatching eggs. I’ve been looking into Metzer Farms and Cackle Hatchery. Have you received ducks from either one; and if so what was your experience like? Are there other good hatcheries you can...
Good Day,
I am going to purchase 5 silkies in 2019. I am deciding between Meyer Hatchery and Cackle Hatchery. I was hoping you could tell me about your experience working with either or both of the said hatcheries. It would be especially helpful if you could show pictures of your silkies...
When I ordered my silkies from cackle hatchery, I searched the internet for HOURS trying to find pictures of silkies from there. I came across many articles saying don’t buy from a hatchery because the quality is horrible and the breeds are mixed. I was a nervous wreck thinking I made a huge...
My cackle order arrived at the post today about 11 am. It pretty much got here over night. 16 chicks, welsummer, and olive and Easter eggers. So far they are all spunky healthy beautiful chicks..no losses at this point. I've got them in the brooder and already gave them some water then food...
On one side we have the ultra-rare breed whose name is the Isbar, known as the only purebred and single comb chicken that lays green eggs on earth.
On the other side we have Olive Eggers, known to most people as Rooster Marans x Ameraucana hen hybrids (though there are other cross varieties...
We are getting close to starting our first coop. I wanted to describe our situation and get your feedback on anything I might be missing.
We live in Knoxville, tn city limits. We can have 6 chickens. Of the 6 they all have to be hens.
We are planning to order 3 golden comets and 3 light...
Hoping I don't sound like a mad woman who's running on 3 hours of sleep, (because who can sleep with chicks in the mail?!), but THEY'RE HERE THEY'RE HERE! :wee
All the way from Cackle in Missouri to Northern California in 3 days exactly, 16 healthy little fluffy butts! We ordered 15, 5 Barred...
I ordered 15 assorted heavy female chicks from Cackle Hatchery on 6/12 and I am looking to identify breeds. I can take more pictures later if it is too early to tell, but there are 6 of the White with gray and light yellow, 3 of the light yellow/white, and 9 of the brown mottled ones. The...
