Description
The Crazy Cackle Zombie chicken is a unique cross of “Fibro” fibro melanosis bloodlines bred by Cackle Hatchery Breeding Farm. This breed will carry heavy doses of black and crazy feathering and not all will look the same and not have the same characteristics. The combs will be crazy shaped, a number of toes can range from 8 to 10, and possibly be crazy feathers sticking out in odd places. They are considered medium to smaller chickens and lay cream-colored eggshell eggs. Their skin color is black with some mulberry and with their crazy looks, you will be considering if they really are the undead zombies. These chicks are a little harder to raise than some of the Zombie crosses being sold by others of sturdier breeds. We will not explain the exact breeding involved but we can tell you some of the background breeds are ayam cemani and show type silkie bloodlines. Be the first to own some Crazy Cackle Zombies and satisfy your chicken math.

I love my little chicks. They arrived perfectly packed, active. Super easy to deal with this company. I will totally recommend this place and I will buy here again.
PS: shipping was lightening fast.

They are a glorified cross with an attractive novelty name. We paid the novelty price and did not like the birds. They were mostly all black, very little color. The sheens on the black feathers were lovely, but ended up with only 1 hen out of many birds. As it stands, she is nothing special- just an ugly silkie cross I overpaid for. Got rid of all the roosters and the sole hen is next to go. I would skip these.

Not the zombie chicken I expected but still very cute and friendly. I bought mines about a year ago now. I bought 3 one didn’t make it and I kept rooster and a hen. Both very friendly and docile. Hen just started laying tiny eggs cream color because she is on a smaller side. I am still very happy with my chickens.

Unique looking! Mulberry combs on roosters, very sweet and gentle! 6 out of 7 all black w/blue and green hues, 1 rooster has mulberry comb w/black, blonde and gold feathering with hues of blue and green Very soft feathers

We ordered 3 zombie chickens. Only 1 survived and she’s the sweetest little thing, but definitely not a zombie chicken. She’s all black, has 5 toes and feathered feet. She has a little fro and smaller than the rest of my chickens. We absolutely adore her. I suspect she’s some kind of silkie mix. Not what we paid for, but also wasn’t worth the hassle of dealing with cackle. I’m just thankful the one survivor turned out to be a hen because I can’t keep roosters.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that two of your chicks did not survive and that you were disappointed in the appearance of your surviving bird. Our breed description for Zombie Chickens does note: “We will not explain the exact breeding involved, but we can tell you some of the background breeds are Ayam Cemani and show-type Silkie bloodlines.” The traits you described including black coloring, five toes, feathered feet, and a small crest are consistent with those background breeds. While each bird can vary in appearance due to the mixed genetics, these characteristics are within the normal range for this variety. We’re glad to hear your hen is healthy and has a sweet personality.

We only ordered 3 of these zombie chicks. 2 were roosters and 1 hen. They are on the smaller size. Very pretty chickens. They all have the poof ball on their heads, and feathered feet. All black with the oil slick sheen in the sun. The roosters developed some more colors, one had yellow/gold lined feathers on his neck. They both developed that yellow gold in patches on their wings. We ended up rehoming the roosters, although they were gorgeous! The hen is now the smallest chicken we have, I was worried she’d get picked on because of her size, but no fear there. She doesn’t let anyone pick on her. She’s one of the most timid of the crew but she’s warming up to us. Very cute. About 5 months old now and has not laid yet. But she seems to be getting closer to laying.

For anyone wanting an actual zombie chicken, you might want to rethink purchasing these. I purchased them under the intention that they were probably ayam cemanis over white leghorn or something along those lines. When seeing the chicks grow I noticed features that made me began to wonder. I called and told them I had purchased some zombies in the past and that I want to know what they are bred from. Unfortunately they “cannot” give me an answer because it’s some kind of crazy cackle secret. I feel like they should advertise their chicks being different than other zombies you might run across. 4/10 stars – if I wanted a silkie that’s what I would’ve purchased instead. 😇

DO NOT ORDER!!! THESE ARE NOT TRUE ZOMBIE CHICKENS WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WHITE WITH SOME BLACK COLORING. I RECEIVED 4 ALL BLACK CHICKS, NOT AT ALL WHAT A ZOMBIE CHICKEN SHOULD BE. THIS WAS THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT AND WORST $100 EVER SPENT! I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN. I EVEN WENT BACK AND FORTH WITH EMAILS BEFORE ORDERING AMS THIS COMPANY ASSURED ME THEY WERE TRUE ZOMBIE CHICKENS. WHAT A JOKE THIS COMPANY IS. TERRIBLE!
