I have see a lot of Easter Eggers with that coloration. Looks like it might have a pea comb as well? Hard to say, but it looks like a very low-profile comb from the pictures.

What kind of ducklings did you get? Edit- just saw the pictures you posted! Nevermind. Looking a tthose now. I think your ducklings are a Khaki Campbell and an Ancona.

I'd be so stoked to get the two blue slate hens in my surprise!

If you have some time to browse the thread, a lot of people have posted what they got. Most report getting a good ratio of pullets to cockerels (one or two females to a male of each breed). I have seen some pretty rare breeds, and most boxes seem to include a pair or so of waterfowl, with...

Yes! Lucky! Great assortment! So much Polish, some fantastic breeds as well. I love the poult but I am afraid of getting broad breasteds... I love my turkeys too much to eat them. I agree with the guesses given, especially the Fayoumi and the smoky gray chicks look identical to the White Rock...

I love blue swedes! Great box! Has anyones' box had turkeys that were not broad breasted?

Agreed, and despite the deals I have been much happier with their birds than with any other hatchery birds. They have crazy good deals on all or mostly cockerel packages, so they don't seem to end up with tons of extra males to dump in other deals. I think I might get the frypan special again...

Is this the 'car alarm'?

I don't want to scare you/get your hopes up (depending on your feelings on the matter) but those look like guinea keets to me... maybe I'm crazy, though.

Good luck! I held out this year, but I think I want to try in April when they've got turkeys, ducks and geese as possibilities too.

If the website is accurate, they aren't currently hatching any waterfowl or turkeys, or a lot of their chicken breeds.

It does seem like they try to accommodate any customer preferences, but it isn't always possible. They're at the mercy of other people's orders, and they won't have everything hatching every day. People do seem to have better luck when they just put down one or two requests, though.

The Black Australorps- love them, and think they are gorgeous adults. The Rocks and Wyandottes are great dual purpose birds too, and all the Rock cockerels I got from Cackle to grow out for meat are growing like weeds.

I filled in some of the ones others didn't already suggest IDs for. Lucky you with all those Polish! Looks like you got several of my favorite dual purpose breeds, too.

I got my notification for my Cackle order after 4 PM on a Wednesday, and they were at my post office in California by 7 am Friday. My order didn't update any info beyond 'scanned in/received' until after I got the chicks home, too.

Ha, they marked mine with dye which lasted what seemed like forever, Great duck selection!

Wow! I'd love a surprise like yours! Do you know what kinds of ducks and turkeys? Random advice for those ordering: I haven't ordered the surprise, but I did order some pullets along with a hatchery-choice package. If you do that, ask them to mark your pullets so you can tell them from the...

Aw that stinks.

Wow! I hope they all pull through for you. Sounds like an awesome little assortment. This thread makes me want a surprise package so bad!
