Tell me your experience with Cackle Hatchery

[Manhen]

I have found that the cost of the birds is minimal compared to the cost of care. I used Cackle and have no complaints. Watch, some hatcheries sell crosses (Cackle has a leghorn cross that lays cream eggs, and looks just like my other 7 leghorn hens). I think it was one of the "free" birds in the hatcheries'choice of 15 chicks.

I have ordered from them for years and always had good customer relations, and the chicks were always always excellent quality and perky and active on arrival. This year I wanted a breed Cackle doesn't carry and used Welp. Don't use Welp, that's all I have to say about them.

I ordered some splash Ameraucanas from them. They came quickly and look very healthy, they even put an extra chick in my small order of 3. I would definitely order from them again!

Yes I got some 2 years ago and they are just beautiful!

I haven't gotten directly from cackle.... but my local Farm and Fleet store orders stock from them. I bought 2 light Brahma chicks and they are healthy and more beautiful than I thought they'd be. I'm happy with their chicks.

I ordered 15 mixed large breed pullets in 2017 and 15 mixed bantam pullets in 2018 from Cackle Hatchery and had no issues. In both instances, they shipped two extras and those were pullets as well. They have been healthy and productive chickens. Cackle may be the only hatchery that offers sexed bantam pullets although there are limited breeds available.

I’ve used Cackle several times with good success. Never an issue or DOAs, always an extra or two.

I wish I had gotten extras from Hoover’s!

I recently received an order from Cackle, it took two months for it to be fulfilled because of so many people buying chicks to have eggs.
They arrived on time, ordered 15 New Hampshire Reds and got 18 and at the 8 day mark they are all healthy, active and growing.

My Dominique and Speckled Sussex both came to me (indirectly) from Cackle, and both of them turned out to be nice birds. From what I have heard, Cackle is one of the better hatcheries.
