Mystery box style chickens?! Best purchase ever. Purchased early this year for May 6th hatch date. I’ve raised chicks before but this flock is the first of my own on my homestead. Received 13 as advertised plus one extra. Shipping made me nervous because the location wasn’t being updated by USPS, but it arrived within 2 days. All healthy except one who passed away later that evening… she was very small and weak. RIP Vicky the sicky chicky. No issues at all after that and all 13 are completely healthy and just now starting to lay eggs. I used the Cackle ID group on facebook to cheat on breeds, but they are all pretty recognizable at this point – lots of beautiful colors and patterns, and many have really friendly personalities. Overall, 10/10 would buy again once I am ready to replenish or expand my flock!

I have ordered the Crazy Chicken Lady Starter Kit twice and I could not be more please. The first 4 chicks I ever bought were from Tractor Supply and there is no comparison to Cackle Hatchery chicks. They always send extras just in case but we’ve never had any pass on their journey home. Plus I love surprises and investigation their breeds as they grow is always fun. We’ve had a couple roosters in each batch which is no big deal. I know they do their best to sex them in house before sending them out. I’ll be ordering another kit in Spring of 2025. I know for sure we got Welsummers, black australop, speckled Sussex, buff orphingtons, French Black Copper Marans, Domonique, and Americana which I’m very happy with. They are all super healthy and happy. Great egg layers. I now only use Cackle Hatchery because I know their birds are very well taken care of. If you’re thinking on it, don’t hesitate! The price is great as well.

Great assortment. All were healthy and thrived. However, I received two roosters in my batch of 13. Be prepared for an occasional rooster.

My baby chicks arrived and they have been a joy to raise. My sweet little peeps have turned into sweet chicken that are a blast to watch in the yard. I received a Dominique, Sussex, Black Copper Maren, Still working out which wyandotts I have … I think one is blue, one is gold, and one is a black and red lace wyandott, and more that I’m still trying to figure out, but that’s part of the fun! I have plans to order this again in April as my daughter wants to join in the fun. My experience has been amazing and I suggest Cackle to all of my friends. Hoping to help expand my addiction to the rest of my friends and family.

I received the crazy chicken lady starter kit back the first week of April. I was so excited when these little chicks arrived! They were beautiful and very healthy looking! My order was supposed to be a dozen but I received an extra chick. They have all grown to be beautiful healthy birds! I have such a variety and it was fun trying to figure all of them out. I do have one rooster which is probably why they included an extra because they can’t guarantee that all will be hands. I’m excited about him and he is gorgeous! He’s actually a black laced red wine Dot and really timid at the moment yet. I’m hoping that he stays calm and personable and doesn’t get mean. I’ve heard horror stories about roosters. I have lots of acreage so he’ll be happy as long as he stays good! Otherwise my mixture included a wonderful variety. Included was a dark Brahma, a Plymouth Bard rock, a Dominique, an Easter Egger, a Cinnamon Queen, Delaware Standard, Black laced golden Wyandotte, a Welsummer, A white leghorn and a brown leghorn, a Cuckoo Maran And a White Plymouth rock. This last one was the trick to figure out. This was so much fun and super enjoyable. Both my leg horns have started laying already and they are just Shy of 19 weeks.
I wanted to write this review after all my chicks screw up because I spent time reading everyone else’s reviews of this particular bundle. Cackle hatchery gives you instructions on how to care for your chicks as soon as they arrive. Please follow it step-by-step! You must teach your chicks how to drink so if you don’t follow the instructions you might lose some. They also need to be kept under a heat lamp. Please get a thermometer so that you can check how hot that lamp is getting. Just a couple of things to be aware of. Anyway, I wish I could’ve submitted pictures but enjoy your chickens! Great company!

I received my order on Friday July 12, hatch date was July 10th. When they arrived all were alive and seemed decent. Four passed away the next day, two seemed to “fail to thrive” and two had wry neck. I tried everything i could do to help them from my research and it still didn’t work. The following day (Sunday) one drowned and two more became lethargic. I see them eat a little and drink and go to the bathroom but are constantly tired. I hope the rest of these make it because if they don’t only half of my order will have made it. I’ve been doing everything right, pine shavings, proper temp with heat lamp, proper chick starter crumble, warm water with electrolytes, chick grit, etc. Im happy to have received the variety but not sure why so many have passed so quickly.

We just received our order on Friday April 12, 2024. We were lucky enough to receive 14 happy peeping active chicks! After 24 hours everyone is doing great! They arrived with a heat pack and were active. Very thankful for all the guides that Cackle offers to help us in the new journey!

I received 14 happy healthy chicks exactly 19 weeks ago, and today I receive my first egg! All 14 chicks survived and thrived. At around 7 weeks I had some concerns I had a few roosters, but only 1 out of the whole bunch turned out to be one, and he’s a welcome surprise! I ended up with 14 different chickens:
-New Hampshire (my Roo)
-Black Australorp (my first egg layer)
-Black Sexlink
-French Black Copper Marans
-Splash laced Red Wyandotte
-Black laced Red Wyandotte
-Speckled Sussex
-Welsummer
-Rhode Island Red
-Golden Comet
-White Rock
-Buff Orpington
-Clean-legged Cuckoo Marans
-Dominque
I’m am super happy with my purchase and plan to order again!

This was the door I chose to walk through to start my chicken loving journey 2 months ago (May 03, 2023). Shipping and pickup went as expected due to excellent instructions and layout of timing and what to look for posted on their site. A long line at the post office all melted and cooed at the sound of the chicks sounding off when they came to the counter. Received 14 chicks of 10 breeds and 3 Turkeys. A nice variety of hens with one roo in the mix. The roo was a surprise but actually a welcome addition. He’s 8 weeks old now and the only male in the bunch, so he struts his stuff, and his weak little crow is the cutest thing. Super excited and happy about all aspects of this order. Have since placed and received a second order with similar results. It’s obvious they care and do the best they can to eliminate chance and luck and manage the aspects within their control to make sure you get healthy energetic chicks. I have a feeling we’ll be regular customers and don’t need to look at other options. Thanks Cackle!

This has been the most fun I’ve ever had. I ordered the box that shipped 4/10, received 14 chicks, 13 are surviving and doing well. The 14th was weak when she arrived, and was failure to thrive, no discernible reason, nothing I blame on Cackle. The identification group on facebook is so much fun and so helpful, and I can’t wait to add to my little farm!

I just received my order and I am thrilled. Everything you all said about the post office/delivery was spot on. I received 14 babies and they are all in good shape. They are beautiful, currently eating, drinking, and starting to go to sleep. I couldn’t be more happy with my chicks. Thank you!

This was my first time ordering chicks from a hatchery. I did not know what the expect, however I was pleasantly surprised. I received 14 chicks and had a variety of different breeds and colors. They all arrived healthy and doing very well. I am not sure exactly what breeds I got yet, but I am very excited for my order in August.

I’ve ordered Easter Eggers in the past from Cackle & decided that I would like a little more variety. Received my first crazy chicken lady batch of girls on 3/29. Expecting a second crazy chicken lady batch with an order of rare chickens in a week or so. There were to be 13 girls & true to form, Cackle sent one extra so 14 lovely little hens. All very healthy, growing like crazy & super inquisitive. Still not sure what they all are, but I have a beautiful assortment of breeds & colors. Just moved these girls from the brooder to the outdoor run & looking forward to the next batch of chickies! Thanks Cackle Hatchery!
