My husband placed an order for 5 lakenvelders, one male French black tailed red marans, 5 white silkies, 4 crazy cackle toppies, and three cayuga ducklings.
The male marans is to replace the male we lost this winter. He had the best temperament and I hope the new one will too.

I ordered all females but know I could get a roo with the Marans. And I saw the crazy cackle toppies...how fun!!
I have one black silkie now who happened to go broody about 21 days ago...shes on fake eggs so I'm going to let her help me raise about 5 or 6 of my chicks. This will be her 2nd time as a mom...first time she hatched her own eggs and did s great job. I told her to hang in there a few more days...yes I talk to my chickens.😄

Those would be fun. The surplus females was as adventurous as I got.

Right!? Also maybe a little intimidating since you don’t know if you’re getting waterfowl or turkeys or just chicks or what! LOL but I like the surprise 🤣🤣🤣 I think I even saw a guinea in one of the things!!!

I also just saw this one which would be nice as well because at least you know what you’re getting :lau

Then again, I feel like the surprise is half the fun :lau 🙈

They have soooooo many assortments/specials hahah I was just looking through them all 🤣🤣🤣
 
Got all my chicks alive and seem to be doing good.

My silkie is helping me care for my 3 austrawhites. She sat on fake eggs for 22 days. I put the chicks under her this morning just before sunrise and she immediately started talking to them. Shes a happy hen now. I got a pic of one peaking out.

Hey Cackle friends. I have a chick that I am having trouble identifying. At first I thought it was an Americauna from my blue egg layer surplus package but....it has feathered legs. So then I thought it must be a french maran from my dark egg layer surplus, but didn't match those pics to me. So I posted it on the what breed thread and someone thinks cochin. It does sort of resemble the barred cochin,(https://www.cacklehatchery.com/product/barred-cochin-standard-chicken/) but does Cackle just send random bonus chicks to people who didn't order them ? I did get extras..but was wondering if anyone else. has gotten a breed they did not order? Here's her pic. Or is this a maran? Thanks for helping🐣
