    GREAT SMALL BREED OF BIRDS

    I have had this breed for a couple of years and I can tell you that the hens are great mothers and great egg layers. They will even lay a couple of eggs in the winter and I am in Colorado so I was surprised when they laid some eggs! I really like cackle hatchery birds as they are beautiful and their birds never disappoint me. I will always order from cackle hatchery!

    Very pleased

    The chicks were healthy, they are grown now and showed very well at 4H fair. The judge was surprised they were mail order. Good quality.

    Cute choice

    The chicks all survived transport. My kids adore their tiny little legs. They are bit more flighty than the Old English Game bantams, but not aggressive. On the whole, a good choice.

    Nice, Small and Fun Birds

    My son and I liked the Japanese. We liked how the tails touch their heads. My son chose the Black Tailed Buff. He ordered 5 chicks and received 6 in good health in April. They were easy for him to take care of. When they got big enough to fly out of their box, 1 got lost in his bedroom; Thank the Lord he heard it peeping and found it before it got too cold! It’s been fun watching them grow. He has 3 hens and 3 roosters and they’re all doing well! Their tails actually do touch their heads sometimes! They are nice and quiet birds and good for eating bugs out of gardens because they are small and don’t squish the plants. We are really pleased with them!

    Thanks a Million

    I want to thank you for packing my chick order. You did an outstanding job. The chickens came at 8:15 am Wednesday morning in good health. I also would like to thank Tiffany for calling me on my replacement of short legged chicks. Thank again for the wonderful service and i will recommend friends to your hatchery.
