I also have been extremely satisfied with chicks from cackle. I have ordered many surprise boxes and never had any doa. I will continue to order from them. I have ordered from other hatcheries as well and overall cackles chicks have done well compared to others!
I ended up with 47 chicks no doa. I have been too busy to take pics. Had 9 polish 6 cochins lots of chipmunk looking ones and so many more I need to make a list of them and take pics.
I just picked up my 2nd hatchery surprise for this year and got a total of 57 no DOA 3 turkeys and 2 ducks and a great assortment! Will post a pic soon!
I saw they had chicks and ducks for 50% off and I am tempted to see what they have but we already have 100 chicks and have another surprise box coming next week so not sure it would be a great idea lol I love little chicks!
