thanks in advance

This is just my experience this year. I have easter eggers from Cackle from two different orders last year. I bred them this year. I have a lot of cross beak chicks.

I have always had awesome birds from them but I did order some ameraucanas from them and out of 125 chicks I had two with cross beaks

I have never had this or any other problem with any of my other birds from there.

I have bantam Cochins, crested Polish, and German Spitzhaubens from Cackle Hatchery. I don't know if they are show quality because I haven't researched this, but they are pretty chicks.

I had lots of problems with my shipment from Cackle, though. I won't ever order from them again.

has anyone every gotten ducklings from cackle hatchery? I was thinking of getting some.

I really dont recomend Cackle because of personal experience and around 15 other people saying they messed up orders, lost chicks in the mail/ sent them to the wrong post office (in one case 100 miles away) and just didnt send good birds. Not to mention they are SUPER pricey. I had to pay 13 something for shipping and handling (37$ total) and when I also ordered from Ideal (only ordered 10 chicks but still cheaper) and you only have to pay 7.25 for 25 chicks or if you order more than 1/4 box (25) you only have to pay 2.25 for shipping and handling. I highly recomend Ideal and always have heard good things about them.

Maybe they pre-sold the females already. That's the only thing I can think of. Call them and they may be able to put you on a waiting list for them if there's a certain type you want. I saw the males only thing on their site one time and the girl on the phone said to just ignore that and call them. It won't hurt to try!
