    Hello! I've been lurking the forums for some time now and finally the time has come for my chicks to arrive! My parents have had chickens many times so this isn't my entirely first rodeo, just one I am fully in charge of! I ordered the Cackle Mini Surprise with the hopes of a very diverse flock...

    Chicks arriving in the late afternoon?

    Has anyone ever had chicks arrive at their post office later in the day? I’m getting a little nervous. My chicks from cackle shipped Monday, and this morning I did not receive a call early in the AM like previous times. So I went over there to check in person and they weren’t there. My shipping...

    Has anyone had problems with cackle hatchery bantam easter eggers vents prolapsing?

    I am looking for chicks to raise this year, and I really love bantam easter eggers. Cackle hatchery seems to have good quality birds, but when I read the reviews for the bantam EE, someone had an unfortunate experience with vent prolapsing. I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience...

    Cackle Bantam Easter Egger

    I have this gorgeous Bantam Easter Egger I got from a Bantam Assortment from Cackle Hatchery. I’ve posted about her before asking for help figuring out her coloring and genetics, and from what I got as answers she looks like a splash. Now I know Easter Eggers are most of the time made from...

    Speckled Egger?

    I've been occasionally checking the page for Cackle Hatchery's Speckled Egger for several years now and I've never actually seen them in stock. Does anyone out there actually have these chickens?? I'm starting to believe they're not real! :lol:

    Cackle Hatchery “Rare Breed” mystery chick

    Hi folks! This 8ish week old pullet came from Cackle Hatchery’s “rare breed” selection. Any idea what she is? Sorry there is no pic where she’s not being held-she’s a feisty one.

    how big are cackle hatcheries african geese?

    i read their breed profile and the reviews and it seems kind of mixed, with some saying they’re large and some saying they’re unusually small. has anyone ordered africans from them in the last 1-2 years? how big were they? tyia :)

    when does cackle start taking orders for the next season?

    i’ve never ordered directly from them before and i want to get my order for spring in asap so i don’t risk substitutions or anything. can i call now and place my order, or should i wait until they have availability dates listed on their website? tyia :)

    are cackle ameraucanas worth the price?

    i feel mean phrasing it that way lol. but are cackle ameraucanas up to the SOP enough to be worth 20$ a pullet? at that price if they’re “hatchery quality” i feel like i’d rather just buy from a breeder. tyia

    I went on an adventure!

    Happy Friday-almost-Saturday-and-actually-already-Saturday-for-some-folks! Yesterday I had an order of 25 adorable little Silkies to pick up at Cackle Hatchery, in Lebanon, MO. That doesn't sound all that adventure worthy I'm sure, except for the fact that I live in Memphis, TN. If you pull...

    Just so proud of my big ole’ boys for winning this!

    So last year, I got an envelope from cackle hatchery that had a hand-written address- so clearly not a bulk mailing. Since I never have ordered anything from them, curiously, I opened it right away. Inside was a $100 check for a photo contest I won with my three pet BB bronze toms. Pretty cool...
