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.

Recieved my chicks 2 days after shipped. Ordered 15 received 17. 3 were weak and even though tried to feed them the hard boiled egg youlk and warm water the 3 passed away. The rest are fine except I’m pretty sure i have a bantam chick as well. She’s a lot smaller than the rest. They are pretty girls! Very sweet. After a month they are all feathered out and flying so they graduated from brooder to their own big girl run and house. The little bantam one is almost feathered out completely.
I am thankful that I was able to get chicks from Cackle Hatchery.

I received my rainbow laying surprise box at the end of September 2021. They arrived well package and we experienced no fatalities. Our girls have started laying and we have all brown layers and one blue. I’m happy with the health of my ladies I was just hoping for more color. I would suggest ordering individual breeds or perhaps earlier in the season?

15+2 Robust, healthy chicks. I received four different varieties of birds: 4 Barred Plymouth Rock, 5 Black Sexlink, 4 Red Sexlink, 4 Cinnamon Queen. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because I believe these will all be brown layers so my basket won’t be very colorful. Attractive, healthy flock YES! Rainbow assortment of egg colors, not really but I’ll still order this assortment again for the fun of a mystery and because I’ve read some of the assortments other people have received.

My five cents comments
I noticed that everyone here start with “I got my chickens today and that they received extra…. Blah.. blah.. blah. I think they are employees writing good reviews for their own company. I have ordered twice and bi never got extra chickens. As a matter of fact I ordered 100 and it was short.
