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 15 rainbow chick’s, 4 olive Eggers and 4 chocolate Eggers. I received 25 birds and lost 5 in the first 2 days which was shocking and very upsetting. It’s been 3 months and boy I think I got someone else’s order. I received many, many barred rocks, a few all red chickens, some that look like easter Eggers but hard to tell and 2 that are roosters. Disappointing for sure 😕

Please contact at help@cacklehatchery.com so we can verify that you did receive the correct order. Normally rainbow assortments do not include more than 1 or 2 Barred Rocks.

I received 3 extra chicks, lost 3 chicks and found out that 4 are roosters which I wasn’t impressed with, considering these were all supposed to be female. They are 19 weeks, I’m anxiously awaiting them to start laying!

I will preface all of this with saying I know Cackle had a rough year this year. This assortment was not what I had expected. I ordered for Feb delivery and after 2 reschedules finally got my chicks in April. I got 2 extra, but could tell on day 1 that there were only 2 breeds. They were split about 50/50 barred rocks and production reds. There were 2 roosters in the bunch (as I expected honestly). The shipping and packing was excellent as always and they all arrived alive and survived. They are beautiful healthy adults as always and are laying now. I was just really hoping for some blue or olive egg layers and a greater variety of chickens, but I did order a bargain special, so… They really do fill these last and you get what is available.
