- RRRandie4 days ago5.0I ordered 200 Light Brahma chicks from Cackle Hatchery, I received notification that were being delivered the week of August 28th. The average temperature here in Las Vegas is between 105° to 110°. They only had 190 available and shipped them to me. I received them on Friday, August the 28th around 1:00 pm in the afternoon PST. All 192 chicks arrived in very good shape and are doing good two days later. I am so impressed with their packaging and shipping process, I will be ordering from them again. Thank you Cackle Hatchery, I look forward to doing more business with your company.
- JDJayden And DezinyAug 25, 20265.0I’m more than happy with my experience visiting Cackle! 🐣❤️ I drove all the way from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to pick up chicks on Saturday, August 22nd, and I couldn’t have had a better experience. The environment was clean, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I really wish I had gotten the name of the sweet woman who helped me with my chicks because she was AMAZING! She was so kind, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even better. She even gave me a few extra cute babies! 🥹🐥 10/10 experience from start to finish, and I will definitely be coming back again! Thank you, Cackle! ❤️🐣
- FFFarmer-06Aug 21, 20261.0🚨If zero ⭐️ was an option I would select zero. 🚨Possible customers beware🚨. Ordered 5 ermine Americauna chicks from this hatchery for a total of $190.30. They arrived lethargic and sluggish. Did all we could do to save them but one by one all died within 2 weeks of arrival. We have tons of baby chicks come frequently from different places and have never had anything similar happen. They were in the most controlled environment possible and had the same care as every other chick we’ve had. Contacted them by email but received no response so I called and was told they only guarantee they are “alive” at arrival. Cackle Hatchery would not make any effort to make it right despite spending $190.30 on just 5 chicks and waiting 3 months to get them. Poor service of which I’ve never seen from a supposedly reputable company. This was my first and definitely last purchase from this hatchery.
- MMMichaelAug 19, 20261.0I paid $600 for 30 chicks and almost all of them died. At the same time, I got another 50 chicks from Mcmurray and almost all of them lived. Cackle Hatchery tried to blame my setup when I talked to them and said they only cover 24 hours. But all of the chicks were in the same set up and 95% of the chicks that died were only from cackle Hatchery. Something is wrong with their chicks. Dont waste your money.
- ACAntoinette CooperAug 5, 20265.0This is the second time we have gotten chicks from cackle hatchery. We received our chicks 2 days after they hatched. The care they put into these chicks and is absolutely amazing. Our chicks were vaccinated for only ten dollars (for all of them). We received our chicks healthy, happy and fluffy in a specialized box with air holes, special bedding, a heating pad and food. They were vibrant, active and did not appear stressed. One of our chicks is a lavender Orpington. We've found it incredibly hard to get one of these in our area. Because of the attention to care and quality cackle hatchery seems to have, they are our 'go to' anytime we need hatchlings. The person I spoke to on the phone was very knowledgeable, thorough and helped me make an educated choice. She also gave me some care suggestions so that I was ready when they got here. It gave us so much peace of mind when we received the shipment confirmation from cacklehatchery that all we had to do was push the link and it told us when they were received at the shipment center and where exactly they were, so we could anticipate their arrival. They also have a guarantee which gave us peace of mind knowing that if something happened along the way we could reach out to them for care advice and if needed, they would send out a secondary shipment.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cackle Hatchery®
Phone Line Is Busy/Internet Confirmed Ship Date
We are sorry if you encounter a busy signal on the phone. We have moved into a larger office, updated our phone system with more lines, and increased our staff. We do apologize if you have trouble getting through. Internet orders are processed in the order received. When ordering through the website you will receive an immediate e-mail response notifying you that your order has been received. It will include your order number. Please refer to this number if you call or e-mail about your order. You will receive a second e-mail in 5-10 minutes that includes your ship date. If the e-mail address you listed on your order is correct and you have not heard from us iwithin 1 day, also check that your spam program has not blocked our e-mail. We are hatching 140,000 birds weekly and securing your order and hatch/ship date is done as quickly as humanly possible. 90% of your questions can be answered by this page and also our GUARANTEES/POLICIES page.
Do the customers pay for shipping?
Yes, internet orders automatically figure your shipping for you with online orders. Mail-in orders or phone orders use our shipping chart. Shipping charges are not only the postage. The shipping charge covers postage to your Post Office, and box, padding, nesting, any heater, HydroAid, any special packaging because of weather and costs associated with the delivery of your order to our regional post office dispatch for truck or flight. Most of our supplies, books, incubators, brooders, and medications are FREE shipping. Supply orders for Hawaii, Alaska and US Possessions will require additional fees for shipping.
What is my estimated cost to ship baby chicks to me?
Here is a rough estimate of cost for shipping and handling: For 15-300 birds Step 1: $20.00 Step 2: 15-100 x $0.27 per bird charge. 101-150 x $0.25 per bird charge, 151-300 x $0.23 per bird charge. Step 3: $20.00 + per bird charge= shipping cost. Example 15 birds is $24.05, 25 is $26.75, 50 is $33.50, 100 is $47.00. Each additional 300 birds is an additional $20.00 flat rate. During hot weather, we may need to spread the birds into more bundles and an additional flat rate fee of $20.00 may be required even if under 300 birds.
How far in advance should I book my order of chicks?
As soon as you know when and how many you want to order you should go ahead and book your order. We start taking orders on January 2nd for that current year to be booked and shipped for any time between Feb.-Sept. See Calendar. You can pick the month you would like your poultry shipped to you or note ASAP. It is common practice to order 2-6 weeks before the date you want for delivery. For rush orders, we recommend noting as a comment that it is okay to substitute similar kinds in the event we are short on one or two of your requested breeds. When we receive your order, we look for the earliest possible date for ALL of your breeds requested and are available together. Some breeds (rare turkeys, guineas, ducks, geese, and game birds) are not available for later in the year. Customers can consider ordering the chicken orders on a separate order for a possible earlier delivery time. We then secure that date and take those birds off the market for sale and send you a confirmation of your hatch/ship date. Because live newly hatched chicks become perishable the day they hatch, it is necessary to have them all sold well before their hatch date. Newly hatched chicks have their three day supply of yolk still in their system to sustain them for their trip to your home. Cackle hatches 110,000 -140,000 poultry per week and we do a pretty good job of counting our chicks before they hatch when we secure your order.
Why is my ship date being moved?
You've heard the expression "Don't count your chickens before they hatch." Well, at Cackle Hatchery® our business demands for us to count our chickens before they hatch and to make it even harder our business demands we count (estimate) our chickens before the eggs are even laid. We fulfill 95% of the shipping dates we give you for your orders and we apologize if you should be one of the few customers who encounter a delay in the shipment of your chick order. We would notify you by phone as soon as any delay is encountered. We thank you for your business and hope we earn your business.
What are the phone center hours for contacting Cackle Hatchery®?
The phone center is open Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
How can I place an order for chicks and receive confirmation?
Orders placed via the website receive an immediate email with the order number, followed by a second email in 5-10 minutes with the ship date. If you don't receive the emails, check your spam folder or contact support.
Do I have to pay shipping costs for my poultry order?
Yes, shipping costs are included for internet orders and are calculated automatically online. Shipping fees cover postage, packaging, special weather protection, and delivery to the regional post office dispatch. Some supplies like books and incubators ship for free.
How much does it cost to ship baby chicks?
Shipping costs start at $20 plus a per bird charge that varies by quantity. For example, 15 chicks cost approximately $24.05 and 100 chicks $47.00. Additional bundles or weather conditions may add fees.
When should I book my order for chicks?
Orders start January 2nd for shipments between February and September. It's recommended to book 2-6 weeks before your desired delivery date and to specify if substitutions are acceptable for rush orders.
Why might my chick shipment date be changed?
