I agree, I was suprised by the quality and the quality of other peoples birds I've seen from Cackle.

I have to work tomorrow but will take pics of the beautiful hens we have too from Cackle Hatchery and post on Monday for you to see. Very healthy and hardy stock. The Dark Cornish make a great addition to the backyard flock.

The Dark Cornish Australorp crosses we ended up with last spring turned out really pretty too.

I will say Cackle Hatchery has some of the best hatchery birds I have seen...
I ordered from the twice last year and was real surprised how good there birds were... There quality is a lot better than the ("top 2 hatcheries")

You gotta remember Chris, people rate hatcheries by how "healthy their chicks were"

I know, Well Cackle is good on that all so. We orderd one of there hatchery suprieses (No choice of kind or amount of birds) for I think it was 40.00 and I got 70+ chicks most all pairs, a pair of ducks, a pair of gesse and a pair of Turkeys and all were healthy....

I have the white laced reds from privet hatchery and they came in good condition. They do seem a lot thinner than the other types (at lest from what I've seen) and to be honest, I prefer the look of the hatchery quality to show quality birds.

This is my rooster Willie

These are some of Willie's chicks that I hatched

I really like him , and what little I can see of the hen behind him too . I'd much prefer him over some of the exaggerated show strains that have to be AIed due to their body type preventing a natural mating . Thanks for the pic , guess I'll check Cackle's Cornish out someday .

This is what I'm talking about. I don't mean to offend, but honestly I think the point of getting a certain breed like Cornish is to get a bird that actually goes by the breed standard. . . Otherwise, why get a "Cornish" that looks like a splash laced Wyandotte?

That's the reason I find most hatchery quality rare breeds pointless. . .

I agree with you. But I have seen some of the show quality Cornish at a show and I thought they were ugly.
