How is your luck with this hatchery is it good or bad. Are your birds what you wanted or no. Were your birds all live when picked up and if not how many fatalities. I just picked mine up 11 Hamburg’s and 11 phoenixs 24 hours later 5 Hamburg’s 4 phoenix anyone had bad luck with their purchase recently or in the past?

I picked up 11 chicks from Cackle hatchery: 8 black australorp pullets and 3 brown leghorn pullets. None had any health issues, all were lively and quiet, and breeds they were supposed to be, and not more than one was a cockeral.

I was very happy with the health of the chicks and the box, heating jell, and bedding/litter, and thermometer Cackle gave me with them. The interaction with the employees was pleasant, professional, and helpful.

I've always had good results with Cackle and every other major hatchery I've purchased from. Any time I did not, the problem was not due to any fault on Cackle's part, but the issue was with USPS, and Cackle always made it right immediately at no cost to me. One year it was not even USPS's fault, but a blizzard hit during the days the chicks were in transit and none the chicks survived. Cackle shipped out a replacement the following week and if I remember correctly there were no losses.
