Cackle Hatchery issues (I do not suggest using them)

[JacinLarkwell]

Easter Eggers are not Legbar mixes and if somebody is ordering certain breeds then they should get those

Substitutions happen quite more than one would think. Every order I had this year (6) apart from one had at least 1 substitution

Oh wow usually they ask though if substitution is acceptable though, no? Meyer does.

If you order online, there's no way to indicate you do or dont want them for most places

I had ordered 15 mixed large breed pullets in 2017 and 15 sexed bantam pullets in 2018 from Cackle Hatchery and there were no roosters in either shipment even with a couple of extra chicks in each one. And I have to say that both flocks of hens have been some of the healthiest and productive chickens that I have ever had. The four year old large breed hens are still laying eggs quite nicely after being prolific layers from the start. I would not hesitate to order from them again.

Even online, Meyer has a box to check.

And also sometimes they call on hatch day to ask

Huh. No wonder so many people like them. They never fit what I'm looking for so I don't bother to look into them more

Yeah that’s understandable! Plus they’re kinda pricey. But I really like them

I agree a coustumer should get the breed they want and the gender specifically because they paid extra money to get a certain breed. If meyers hatchery can replace and make sure everything is perfect so should mc murray.

Meyer hatchery has really cool breed like blue splash maran swedish flowerhens lakshore egger lavender orpington cream legbars blue laced red wydottes salmon faveroll steele eggers golden cuckoo maran. Of course there is many more cool breeds but these are my favorite. Some of there breeds are even cheaper than mc murrays of course some are expensive but there salmon faverolls are 5$ for females in Meyers but in Mc Murray there 7$. Plus meyers have good quailty birds. So some expense is worth it.
