Not only were my chicks happy and healthy on arrival, but I got an AMAZING spread of the breeds I wanted. I desperately wanted some chamois spitzhaubens but was unwilling to pay nearly 18$ a pop for em. Decided to hedge my bets on the Top Hat special and got not only one but multiple, alongside a good variety of everything. I fully expected to get mostly the cheaper breeds, but no it’s a true variety pack at a fraction of the cost of the guaranteed breed options.

I ended up receiving 18 beautiful and healthy “top-hat” chicks! Seems like I really hit the jackpot when it came to variety and have about 7 unique colors/patterns, which I’m hoping means that I got 7ish different breeds! From the ones that I do recognize I’m quite surprised as they are rather expensive breeds and I wouldn’t have expected them thrown in so commonly in something like this! The chicks were shipped out Wednesday and arrived 6:45am on Friday. I’m honestly a little surprised there were no casualties considering the weather was rather cold, low 40’s-60’s, but everyone looks fine!

I ordered these along with some Guinea Fowl. All arrived alive, however the next day 1/2 of the Guinea died. All of the birds had very bad pasty butt. Now that the “top hats” are growing it looks like we only got three different breeds and all to my disappoint roos. From now on I’ll stick to buying local.

I am absolutely amazed! We purchased 15 of these and we love them! All 15 arrived healthy as be! I wish I could show pictures. Looks like we have more polish then anything. But I am well pleased with shipping care for these babies. Thank you so much! Definitely recommend and will be buying again.

Just received all 25 chicks and they are ALL alive, happy, and healthy. A great variety of colors and I’m in love with each one. Thank you so much and I will for sure be ordering more chicks in the future.

I am very happy with my 12 Bantam Cochins and 7 royal palms!! they arrived alert and happy and two weeks later and all of them are still healthy and happy!! I will definitely order from you guys again!

Great Experience!
I ordered 5 of the “top hat special,” 5 splash silkies, and 5 bantam easter eggers. I ended up receiving 19 chicks total (probably due to the extreme cold during shipping). Temps were in the teens while my chicks were in transit, and not a single one has died. I got a good variety of crested breeds- 3 white polish, one golden laced, one silver laced, and one white crested black polish. When ordering from a different hatchery, I lost 5 chicks the first day and was shorted one. The Cackle experience was a much more pleasant one!

Thank You
We live in Puerto Rico and received our internet order of 40 chicks this morning at the Post office in our small central mountain town. You made Rolando’s day! He is in 7th heaven! Every one of the chicks arrived alive. EVERY one of them! He’s been following your instructions to a “T”. They all drank his warm sugar water, all are eating, and all are nice and cozy in the contraption he made with a light bulb ( I had to remind him that I think the “fluorescent” energy saving light bulb would not produce sufficient heat so he changed it). The chicks are all chirping happily in their new home in the mountains of Puerto Rico! We bought 40 eggs from a different company previous to this because we didn’t think anyone would ship live chicks here. NONE of them hatched in our incubator. Somehow I find you on the interest and we were delighted that you ship to us here, so I ordered assortments to check it out. I’m a city boy from Ohio and New York, and honestly I didn’t think these chicks would make it from Missouri to Puerto Rico. What a spectular scene to the eyes and ears when we opened that box! What a delight! They will be over-overloved and well taken care of and then they’ll join the rest of our “zoo” of 10 dogs, 2w macaws, 3 horses including a new baby, geese, turkeys, chickens, roosters, fancy pigeons, cockateils, Australian parakeets and fancy ducks on our property here in the mountains. We already took a look at your website for new additions. Thank you for everything.

Cackle Hatchery
Just wanted to say thanks so much for the courtesy calls from your company on my chicken issue. I am not in the least upset with anyone other than myself. We will be re-ordering and looking forward to more beautiful baby chicks from you. Again thanks and have never conducted business over the net with anyone more cordial as you guys have been.

My praise to Cackle Hatchery and their staff
Good Evening, I just received my order of chicks from Cackle Hatchery today. I want to extend my sincere praise to your company and staff. My chicks arrived healthy and without a single casualty!!! I have ordered from other hatcheries in the past and have waited anxiously for my chicks to arrive only to be disappointed by dead or nearly dead chicks. Your chicks are the best I have ever received from a hatchery. Although, I am experienced enough to be able to tell which breeds are which, I appreciated the fact that your staff took the time to mark similar breeds. Again, thank you to your staff, They won me over as a customer. I will be sure to tell all of my fellow chicken fanciers how impressed I am with Cackle Hatchery.

Very Satisfied
My Crested Top Hat Special order arrived yesterday. Thank you for the beautiful bunch of chicks and making up the shorted chicks from my previous order. I am more than satisfied with you chicks and attention to customer satisfaction. I will recommend your hatchery to anyone that ask me where I got my flock.
