Hello, I'm curious if anyone got some Saipans from Cackle Hatchery. How did they turn out? How tall did yours get?

I'm have a few getting shipped out June 1st.

know this is old but I have gotten them from Cackle. I have one now, but purchased from local guy.

Alittle old, but still active.

Pictures?

They may thrive in heat but a vehicle in 100 degree wether will get up to 120 degrees in less than half an hour and easily up to 160 degrees or more over a period of time n direct light. They don't thrive in 120+ degree wether with no airflow on any kind..

But many of the postal service vehicles are now air conditioned..over 35% with 100% in the next few years.the pr iority has been to get the deep soyuh trucks air conditioned first, as the workers are at higher risk in the high heat and high humidity. So it is distinctly possible they got to cold.my early june order ( out of 16 1 death but was due to piling from what it looked like an exchequer leghorn- with jersey giants,marans,eggers ,cochins and a fiesty fayoumi) anyway, we were in the middle of 115 heat index with 85-97 temps..when i picked them up at the post office at 630 am they were chilled...i put them under heat for a 24 hours then outside..i thought i lost 2 to heat but it turns out that one of my hens was able to fit through a tiny hole to get to her fave nesting area and she killed the 2) anyway, my point the chicks had been in that cold building for over 8 hours..i think had they been bantams or delicate breeds i would have lost more..

So that leaves 2 out of three un air-conditioned then, the 66% chance they where baking in the heat is 2 times more plausible then they froze during shipping at 100 degrees..

Here's a couple Saipans. These guys are looking more like Wheaten Aseels, I only have one Saipan pullet that's the correct color. Will get a picture of her later.

Just alittle update. I am reducing the Saipans numbers alittle bit. I rehomed one pullet yesterday, with a mixed breed buddy to a good friend.

Next is culling the extra cockerel. So that will bring my number down to 4. It'll be 1 cockerel, & 3 pullets.

Will try to squeeze in a picture of the girl who's the correct color today. I've just been pretty busy lately.

Here's the only Saipan of the right color in the group.
