Description
Here’s your chance to start a rainbow flock of laying hens with this assortment of female chicks in a rainbow of feather colors. They will mature into hens that lay eggs in a rainbow of shell colors, delighting you with baskets of colorful eggs. Since different breeds lay eggs at different rates, this rainbow assortment spreads laying over a wider period of time. And since different breeds have different personalities, as well as different plumage colors, the rainbow assortment lets you enjoy the unique characteristics of several different breeds.
This assortment of female chicks is guaranteed to include Hatchery Choice of at least three different standard size breeds, which may include rare breeds and Leghorns. We will include as many different breeds — with the widest possible variety of feather colors and egg shell colors and shades — as we have available at the time your chicks are shipped. So if you can’t decide which breed you like best, why choose just one, when you can enjoy a uniquely attractive flock of rainbow assortment chicks.
Does not include any bantams.

I ordered 25 rainbow assorted females. They hatched 2/15 and I received them 2/18. I was unaware that “cackle shipping” meant priority shipping and NOT express. Keep this in mind when you order. My shipping was accurate the entire time, it took 3 long days to get to me, which I was not happy with. Were they all alive on arrival? Yes. But several looked dumpy. Then within 24 hours I had lost 6 of the 28. I followed the instructions provided but they still passed. Day 3 chicks are rough. Of the 22 remaining, they seem to be doing okay so far. Unsure what breeds but I recognize california whites, barred rocks, easter eggers, and amaraucanas. I probably wont order chicks again. At least not from here.

This is the first time we’ve been disappointed with Cackle. We received 17 chicks, 2 died (not in transit). Of the 15 that remained, we ended up with 2 roosters and so far only have white and brown layers. It doesn’t seem like everyone has started laying yet, but it just doesn’t seem like we ended up with what was advertised.

Please send us pictures we do guarantee 90% on our sexing. Also you should be seeing some colored eggs soon as we always include easter eggers in our Rainbow Special.

So disappointed
We ordered 15 and were hoping for the couple extra that so many reviews mentioned in case of some not making it we’d still have about 15. We received only 10! I called hoping they would send me the missing chicks I paid for but they could only offer me a refund. Fine. A few weeks later I find out not only did they short my order they sent me THREE COCKERELS!!! I only got 7 pullets of the 15 I ordered!!!! Now it’s too late in the season for anything to be done about it and I have cockerels that we were definitely not prepared for. We waited very patiently for months for these chicks and we’re given no options when they were completely careless when fulfilling our order. I get mistakes can be made but come on!
