Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

[dealfinder500]

I really would love to get the cackle hatchery surprise. But I Caught the hatching bug and now I have way to many chickens( 10)and I got 14 eggs in the incubator and 14 eggs being shipped I have no idea what I am going to do with them all. Oh and I order a chick from the hardware store because I was at the pet store and the sales kid mention that the hardware store was taking chick orders so off I went

That's nothing... I have about 40 chickens/ducks/guineas already. I hatched out 4 chicks a week ago. There's 42 more eggs in the incubator right now. Today I got the Cackle Surprise. Next week I get 100 brown egg layers (though 25 of them are for someone else).

I'm having a hard time figuring out the breeds I got, there's so many of them that look so close!
So far I've got:

Rhode Island Red
Barred Rock (or a Dominique)
Mottled Houdan
White Sultan
Spangled OE Game
Black Breasted Red Phoenix
Black Rose Comb Bantam

Question for those who've gotten this several times before...

I've gotten a few of them by 2's. Are those generally one male and one female?

Most of mine last year were pairs too. A few of them were a pullet/rooster, my order was very pullet heavy and I didn't have any (of the ones I kept, which was over half of the order) that were rooster/rooster.

I'm not sure I explained that very clearly...

Generally, I had pullet/pullet, a few were mixed, no rooster/rooster

Mine were either pullets or a pair.

Wow, they got rid of the ducks and turkeys.

Still a darn good buy. I only wanted chicks anyways.

Well poultry could be taken as all kinds. I'm hoping so as I'd like ducks in my assortment

I can't remember, did it ever say ducks, turkeys , geese? I don't recall if it did, and it still says numerous breeds and kinds of poultry... The numbers are new though I think!

If I do order I still can't decide if I want the surprise or the happy cackle special! (1 pair geese 1 pair ducks 2 turkeys 10 pullets 1 rooster 10 assorted rare chicks)

It states poultry. That can be chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese. It also states kinds of poultry. That means more than one type of poultry.

In addition, we have just seen people post here that they received ducks and turkeys in their surprises over the last few days.

Well, i kinda wonder. That big yellow sign that says Baby Chick Prices. It may be a change. Hope not for you sake.
