2014 Hatchery Chick Orders

[Bhaumesser]

I sold almost everything I had this year and I am starting over with rare breeds and show quality chickens. I have not decided what all I am going to be getting yey

I called Cackle to order a few more EE pullets since I over sold ours and meant to keep a couple more. They said the middle to the end of May...I guess I'll wait until next year.

Did you ever get your tracking number? Maybe they'll get it to you in the morning. I got mine today and at last check the chicks were still in ohio. Hope they make to me to quickly since we have cold weather coming in.

nope nothing from Metzer's...but maybe i'll get something in the morning. i prefer Ideal's habit of emailing me a day before the chicks ship....this whole not a thing makes me nervous. i have emailed Metzer's and asked them if the ducklings had shipped or not

I'm looking into buying some Rhode Island Whites and due to coop space limitations I can't have a huge minimum. So while looking I found some on Cacklehatchery.com and i'm just wondering if anyone has ordered chicks from there and if they were a decent pet quality?

I just got some from there and my experience was ok. I ordered 15 they sent one extra, but two died within the first day and one died the next. The three that died were all Salmon Faverolles. I think that breed doesn't handle stress very well and I think it was due to stress during shipping that killed them. I also got EE's and brown leghorns from there and I love their color assortment. Good birds and customer service was great!

This is taco
This is snowflake


I still didn't name this one. Any suggestions?

I've always had good shipments from them. Rarely do I lose any, they always send extras, and the customer service is great. I always recommend them. I have never ordered any small order specials though.

Cackle is the only place I buy n have nothing but good things to say about them! Very great to deal with!
