Cackle Hatchery Bargains

[SlipsWife]

I got my Happy Cackle Special this morning 2 geese, 2 ducks, 3 turkeys, 24 or 25 chicks. They are to fast and I keep counting 24 and 25 lol. I was only suppose to get 21 chicks , 2 turkeys, 2 geese, and 2 ducks. All arrived alive and well.

Your turkeys look like the ones we received in our Hatchery Surprise. The were the sweetest little guys ever! They loved attention, they would make noises to 'call' us to the brooder. We only had them a week and knowing we weren't going to be able to eat them when the time came we sold them. I actually miss the little guys!

Here is the info for the ones I received . Narragansett are Heritage. The package I bought includes 2 turkey poults at hatchry choice. I do see that Cackle has a couple non heritage breeds so it can go either way on what they add to the package.
