What is the best place to buy baby chicks? Without a doubt, Cackle Hatchery® is by far the best place to buy baby chicks, along with everything you might need to raise them to be happy, healthy chickens. Here’s why:

Largest Selection

Cackle Hatchery offers 230 varieties of poultry. That’s more varieties than any other seller of baby poultry. This wide selection for you to choose from ensures that you get exactly the right poultry for your needs.

Are you looking for exhibition chickens, or production birds for eggs or meat? Either way we’ve got you covered. Looking for ducks or geese for your backyard pond? We’ve got you covered. Eye-catching feathered pets or colorful egg layers? We’ve got you covered. We even offer a good selection of heritage and broadbreasted turkeys.

Or do you yearn for something more exotic? Then check out our large variety of peafowl, pheasants, guinea fowl, quail, and chukars.

Order Direct

You can order directly from Cackle Hatchery in the comfort of your living room. No need to travel to farm and feed stores looking for exactly the chicks you want. Besides, you will not find 90% of our breeds at most feed stores. If you’d rather browse a catalog than peruse our website, we offer a free color guide catalog of poultry.

We ship live poultry from February through October. And you can shop our website for poultry supplies year around. Also available year around is our huge selection of gifts and books for the poultry lover.

Centrally Located

Located in mid United States, Cackle Hatchery is ideally situated for an excellent United States Postal Service delivery system in every direction. From this location we ship approximately 110,000 chicks a week throughout the United States.

And we guarantee safe and timely delivery of the full number that you order of live healthy poultry. We also guarantee all our poultry to be of the grade, quality, sex, and breed represented on our website.

Not only do we ship chicks, but if you wish you can come to Cackle Hatchery in Lebanon, Missouri, on a Tuesday or Thursday following hatch day to buy your day-old poultry directly from the source. While there, you can also pick up all the poultry keeping equipment and supplies you might need.

Can’t make it to Missouri? One of our many local chick dealers may be closer.

Comprehensive Website

On our customer-friendly website you can not only buy baby chicks, but also find comprehensive care instructions, vaccination details, safe handling guidelines, and instructional videos. If you need help making your selections, we offer a helpful chicken breed selector, a chicken breeds comparison chart, duck breeds comparison chart, a turkey breeds comparison chart, and other layers comparison chart.

Additionally, our Cackle Coop blog provides essential information on a variety of subjects. There you’ll find details regarding poultry care, egg production, breed profiles, pest control, health issues, sexing techniques, and much more.

Fun for All Poultry Lovers

What? There’s more? Yes, indeed.

Cackle Hatchery sponsors an annual Photo Contest with cash prizes for photographs depicting best of breed, funniest chicken, and poultry show winners. And you need not make a purchase to qualify for submitting an entry or being a winner.

And then, in early October, Cackle Hatchery sponsors an annual Chicken Festival. Activities include several fun contests with cash prizes, educational seminars, poultry-theme face painting, and lots of drawings for prizes.

During the festival you can tour the hatchery facility, which is otherwise not open to the public during hatching season. However, on any hatch day (usually a Monday or Wednesday) you can watch baby chicks hatch through our viewing window.

Quality Counts

Cackle Hatchery is more about quality than quantity. Unlike suppliers that outsource chicks for sale, here at Cackle Hatchery we raise, select, and care for our own poultry breeder flocks and bloodlines. Being a family owned business since 1936, and now into our fourth generation, we care about our customer experience and business reputation.

Our friendly staff is standing by to you answer questions or take your order. So what are you waiting for? Give us a call at 417-532-4581 or contact us online.
