I LOVE every one of my bantman babys, they are beautiful and perfect, now I want a collection of bantmans from cackle 🤣🤣 can’t wait to order again, it would be awesome if they offered surprise boxes of bantman chicks.

LOVE THEM!
Japanese bantams are very sweet, docile birds. They would make great starter birds for children. I love watching them move-it’s like little boats sailing around.

Thanks
Everything went perfectly. We ordered 28 chicks from different varieties & got 35 total. Shipped on May 26 & got here on the 28th. I was so worried the post office would mess things up. They never called me but thanks to Cackle’s system, I got the tracking # & monitored the shipment. They all arrived perfectly fine chirping like crazy & moving around. I followed their instructions & all were doing great til Saturday when 1 of the porcelain duccles died overnight. For such a long journey I am extremely & pleasantly surprised. We ordered 5 of these Japanese Bantams & got 1 extra. They are really tiny & so cute. The yellow variety is even smaller than the black ones. This is exactly what I wanted, micro chickens. They are really active & hold their own with the other larger chicks.Very pleased with the way the company works. Thank you so much.Highly recommend.

Perfect!
I ordered 25 chicks. I live in California, so the shipping was a bit long – however, the chicks arrived at the post office a day earlier than predicted, and all chicks (including the four extra) were alive! I did lose one shortly after arrival, but the rest are doing great. It was a good assortment, with some from each variety in the mix.
