Description
Hatchery Choice Bantam Female Deal 10
Product Overview
The Hatchery Choice Bantam Female Deal 10 from Cackle Hatchery® is a small-order special for customers who want female bantam chicks without placing a larger regular chick order. This deal includes 10 pure breed, 1 day old female bantams selected by the hatchery.
This special is a great choice for city or town backyard flocks where space is limited and noisy rooster crows are not allowed. The chicks are sold with a 90% sexing guarantee, but sexing is not a perfect science, so customers should still have a backup plan in case a chick turns out to be male.
This special includes free shipping and free Marek’s vaccination.

Because this is a hatchery-choice package, Cackle Hatchery® does not tell customers which color, type, or breed was sent. Cackle Hatchery® also does not keep records of which breeds are included in each order.
Customers should order this special for female bantam value, small-flock convenience, and variety rather than for specific breeds or colors.
Small Order Shipping Note
The higher cost of this special reflects the extra shipping, packing, and handling needed to safely ship a small number of chicks. Small chick orders require special care because fewer chicks create less shared body heat during transit.
To help chicks arrive safely, Cackle Hatchery® may use special packing measures such as:
A heating pad
Extra nesting
Padding
Insulation
Special shipping boxes
Special shipping arrangements
Free shipping applies only to this special. If any other items are added to the order, shipping will be added to those items.
Marek’s Vaccination
This special includes free Marek’s vaccination.
Customers who want vaccinated bantam females in a small order will appreciate that this service is already included in the deal.
Arrival Policy and Shipping Changes
Cackle Hatchery® must be notified of any unsafe arrivals within 24 hours in order for the customer to be refunded the chick price, based on the regular chick price, or to receive a one-time reshipment.
Because this is a small-order special, Cackle Hatchery® does not send extra chicks.
The confirmed shipping date may be changed at the last minute at Cackle Hatchery’s discretion, depending on weather at the time of shipping. These changes help protect the chicks during transit.
Regular orders must follow the minimum order requirements listed in the catalog and use regular shipping fees.
Backyard and City Flock Use
The Hatchery Choice Bantam Female Deal 10 is designed for customers who want a small group of bantams for a backyard, city, or town flock. Bantams are smaller than standard-size chickens, making them easier to manage where coop or yard space is limited.
This special is a good fit for customers who want:
10 female bantam chicks
A small backyard flock
A city or town chicken option
A lower chance of roosters
Pure breed bantams
Free shipping on this special
Free Marek’s vaccination
A hatchery-choice assortment
A small order without regular minimum chick requirements
Customers should check local ordinances before ordering, especially if their area restricts roosters or limits the number of chickens allowed.
Care and Brooder Tips
Bantam chicks are small and need careful brooder management. Before chicks arrive, prepare a warm brooder with clean bedding, fresh water, chick starter feed, and safe feeders and waterers.
For best results, provide:
A warm brooder before arrival
Clean, dry bedding
Fresh water at all times
Finely crumbled chick starter feed
A shallow or bantam-safe waterer
Good ventilation without drafts
Quick pickup from the post office
Close monitoring during the first few days
Small chicks can chill quickly, so warmth, water, and feed should be ready before they arrive.

I ordered ten, and received twelve, which initially was a delightful surprise, but six of them quickly died. I’ve never had one baby chick die on my watch, let alone six, so this was extremely distressing. I was told because they literally didn’t die until *after* I picked them up, that was on me. Definitely the last time I’m going this route. Six birds for $140 is just a waste of money.

I ended up with a nice variety of cochins and old english from this batch. I really am in-love with the cuckoo cochins with their 3-D like feathers (and possibility to sex-link with a solid black or true blue rooster). I just wish that they came in a larger version of bantam. Fully grown all bantam cochins will weigh 1 lb 6 ounces. My handsome frizzled true blue silkie weighs 3 lbs 7 ounces of solid body mass with lots of fluff. I would really love to end up with some color sex-linked satin roosters from this crossover. Hopefully, a two pound difference won’t result in future issues. The next size up, being the standard sized cuckoo cochins, might require grappling hooks for my true blue frizzled roo to mount.

What a great deal! I received 2 buff brahmas, 2 barred cochins, 3 red cochins, 3 Partridge cochins, and 3 barred rocks. 13 healthy bantam pullets arrived and all survived.

Beautiful and gentle ckickens
when the chicks arrived, we were sad to find that 4 had not survived the long way out to our ranch. But since we were given a few extras, we now have 8 healthy, beautiful and gentle chickens! The different varieties are amazing, we love our tiny and curious English Game hens. All chickens have their own personality! The kids adore them. The hens started laying eggs earlier then the rescue chickens from the local farm store. They love their fresh veggies and are busy outside during every kind of weather!

great chickens
These are the nicest chickens we have ever had!! I actually got these on the heels of buying some sick chickens locally, all of whom promptly died except 1, who became our House Chicken. I thought House Chicken would enjoy some company, but she did not care about the new chickens, and wouldn’t dream of moving outside. We got a nice mix, with cochins, feathered feet & old English & barred. My husbandwas skeptical of their chances, because it was cold for May, & they were sooo tiny. They were warm and in good shape in their double wrapped box with food gel, including 1 extra chick. They jumped out and ate and drank right away. The girls are super healthy and were fully feathered in about 6 weeks, which I could not believe! Notably, these are the nicest chickens-to each other & to us-rarely a cross word or peck out of them, and several will follow us and talk, all around the yard. They have rarely touched prepared chicken feed since they have grown, preferring cracked corn, sunflower seeds & whatever they can find in the yard. They are laying little tan delicious eggs at the 6 month mark. Customer service was great, and I will always order from Cackle Hatchery!

Great service and wonderful chicks
I received 17 bantam chicks today after ordering the 10 and 5 hatchery choice bantam pullet deals. They are doing great and are very vigorous. I am also impressed with the variety as there were four breeds included. I would also like to commend the excellent ordering experience with Kaitlyn last week. As I told her, she was one of the best customer service representatives I have ever dealt with in any capacity. Cackle Hatchery has the best chicks that I have received in my 40+ years of raising chickens. The 16 large breed hens that I got last year are wonderful as well and I consistently get 13 – 15 eggs per day from them.

Excellent deal!
Our chicks were ready for pick up at the post office a day early. Post master was worried because she didn’t hear chirping like from other chick shipments. We opened the box ASAP and were delighted to find all babies doing great! They were double boxed and toasty warm. The post master was very impressed and said she wished all hatcheries took such great care in packegeing their chicks. Thank you for all our new little bantam hens. They are super healthy and doing great!
