- KJKerry Jarvis2 days ago5.0Ordered turkeys for my husbands birthday. All arrived happy and healthy and my husband is thrilled. They emailed to keep me updated, I had tracking for the birds, my husband checked twice a day he was so excited, and today was the day! This was my first order from Cackle but it won’t be my last. I would highly recommend them to all my friends and neighbors. If you’re hesitant about ordering birds over the internet or through the mail, click that buy now button and stop waiting! So glad I did it
- DADominica AmosJul 1, 20261.0I cannot recommend Cackle Hatchery based on my experience. My order shipped on time, but Cackle Hatchery already knew that my ducks and geese were not going to be included. Instead of notifying me before shipping, they sent the order anyway without any explanation. When the package arrived on Wednesday, the ducks and geese were simply missing. There was no note, no email, no phone call, and no indication that part of my order had been canceled. I had to reach out to customer service myself just to find out what had happened. The email response I received from Roxanne was dismissive and couldn’t even tell me when my refund would be processed. I then had to call customer service to get answers. Inventory shortages happen, and I completely understand that. What I don’t understand is knowing an order cannot be fulfilled, shipping it anyway without notifying the customer, and not immediately processing a refund for the missing items. Customers shouldn’t have to discover missing items when they open the box, then spend additional time emailing and calling just to make sure they get their money back. Good customer service isn’t just shipping on time—it’s communicating honestly when there’s a problem and resolving it promptly. Unfortunately, that wasn’t my experience with Cackle Hatchery.
- LWLara WagnerJul 1, 20261.0Be extremely wary if you order any checks from them. I ordered from Texas and it took four days for them to arrive to me. The post office informed me that the company should expedite ship these checks and they did not. Then when my chicks arrived, I ordered 30 chicks and the price was about $400 in total, They literally all suddenly without any symptoms or anything attacking them When they were about a month old. I’m not kidding, every single one of them just randomly drop dead with plenty of food, clean water, and a safe environment. I reached out to the company and their response was cold and had zero empathy. Truly did not care that I just lost every single bird that they sent me which all drop dead mysteriously do not order chicks from this hatchery. Go elsewhere.
- MSM SJun 26, 20265.0Bought 3 heritage turkey poults and they gave me 2 extra (so 5 total). I've had them for 10 days now and they are all doing well. I drove to their hatchery about an hour away. They packed the turkeys up very nice with a green gel (for sustenance), a warm heat pack, and bedding. The turkeys were quiet on the way home. When we got home, I showed them where their food and water was and they've been great ever since. I was told by others that turkey poults are tricky to raise. I walked in wanting 3, expecting 2 to live. I am pleased that all 5 are alive and well.... but what will I do with 5 turkeys? 😂❤️
- TGTaylor GJun 22, 20261.0First and last time ordering here! Ordered 15 ducklings months in advance. I was updated when the shipping label was made but not when they shipped but when they landed halfway here and then not again til it was in my town. When I got them, only 5 were in the box with a almost room temp heat pack. I had to contact the post office and make sure there wasn't any extra boxes as I was never notified of my order being short. 2 dead on arrival, 1 died immediately upon opening the box trying to get it in the brooder coughing up brown fluids. 1 was barely conscious and had to spend a week constantly nursing it to the point where it could walk on its own. Upon calling, I was notified they had run out and couldn't ship more. No email was sent stating that my order was short and no refund. I had told the lady everything and was able to get a full refund so they get 1 star. Beyond disappointed with a company that had such good reviews.
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.
