Of the birds that survived (Buffs, Barrred Rocks, RIR, Guinea hens) I was very happy with them, they were to standard, and they laid nice sized eggs and for years.I know on cackles site they say "specializing in show,meat,egg and pet quality poultry" so hopefully. efowl.com is where my current flocj came from and they are. not good at all. we get eggs and meat but thats it the RIRs are mixed and same with the top hats abd just about every other bird in my flock is mixed so im hoping they will stand by their word and.have good stock
I'm happy with my Cackle birds, and placed an order for more coming in March--including some of the Chanteclers and Black Copper Marans.
I find it's best to check the "breeder flock" videos for a representation of what you might actually get, because the photos are of course the very best of what they might produce if they aren't just stock photos of the breeds at shows. My Silver Laced Wyandotte looks similar to what's in the videos.
Last year my box had 43 birds--none DOA. One little Silkie was severely spraddle legged and died--had I separated him from the LF he probably would have been fine. I also lost a BBW turkey that I assume didn't understand feeding/drinking lessons. Otherwise 41 birds survived just fine.
Like all hatcheries there will be good reviews and bad reviews. There will be people that will say the service sucks and people that say it's delightful. I haven't had any problems myself.
