Sorry I'm late with this post.

On March 25th I received 57 total. No DOA but I did loose 2 bantams on the 26th.




2 African Geese- We are so excited about these. I thought that they were ducks when I opened the box. A little later something wasn't right about them. They are demanding lots of attention. The funny thing is that my daughter just asked for a pair. How did Cackle know?


The front chick is a Turken. 2-mottled Houndan & a Polish which doesn't look yellow anymore. Pictures taken today so they are a week old.


2 Turkeys


Lakenvelder? and White Jersey Giants?


Easter Eggers-they all have cheeks.


Reds with line on top of head. Red Sex Link?


Silkies - The white one is a little bigger




I believe the center one is a German Spitzahauben. It has the weird nostrils. Black ones with feathered legs?

Second picture, is this a Dark Brahma?


Few of the Bantams



Some yellow full size.

I have some chipmunk colored ones in both full and bantam size. We are so pleased with our order. I plan to part with some but I don't know if I can.

Let me know if you can identify anything. I'm new at this and I'm just watching the cackle videos to try and figure out.

Your feather legged could be Cochin. I received my box on the 27th. I got 1 turkey and 58 chicks! I got Cochins. Mottled houdans. Polish. Rhode Island reds. Plymouth rocks. Easter eggers. Naragansett. Jersey giants. Wyandottes. Orpingtons. Many more I don't know.

Congrats on a great assortment!

I have found the best aid for figuring out breeds is to have a paper copy of the Cackle catalog. Faster to page through to look at chick pictures than the webpage.

It has been exciting, and I do feel very lucky with my order. I'm a little nervous about them growing up.

You got a great box too! I'm pretty sure no RIRs or Orpingtons. There is one that I think is a wyandotte but not sure. I didn't think that it would be this good right before Easter. I was thinking Cochin too.

Congrats on a great assortment!

Thank you! I'm excited about the possibility of the Dark Brahma. A week later, I'm still excited

about them all.

I agree. I sit with the catalog and then later look at the videos online.

Can't wait to see what everyone else gets.

I LOVE the sound of this mystery box of poultry. My only reservation is the lack of Marek's vaccine option. A long time ago my flock was hit with it. Does anyone vaccinate them on arrival? Has anyone had trouble with Marek's? I don't know if it's just being over paranoid.
