   They were some of our first chickens we ordered back in March and have just now started laying. They are very calm and will let you pet them and pick them up, would be a good chicken to have around kids, pretty laid back. The eggs are small right now but are very good and give you about as much as a store bought large. As they get bigger they will be even bigger and better. I would recommend if you want a nice brown egg layer. Very happy with them.

   This is my first time raising chickens from babies, and the experience couldn’t have been better. I ordered four female chicks, and the hatchery generously sent five. They all arrived healthy, and it’s been so much fun watching them grow up and develop their own individual personalities. We got the babies the week of April 15 and just got our first egg on Sunday, so they’re right at 5 months old. I never knew just how friendly and smart a chicken could be until I got these girls. We’ve been clicker training them to come to us for treats, and one will even fly up onto my outstretched arm for a blueberry, so I’m sure they could learn other tricks. I’d definitely order this breed again.

   The red sexlinks are always a favorite… sweet temperament and excellent layers.

   Thanks!

   I wanted to thank you for the extra chick with the four i ordered. All are doing well and not one pasty butt. Well worth getting up at 3:45 to go pick them up! Thanks again.

   After two years

   My initial review was that these hens are not the brightest however they are the friendliest of the three types of hens I have (Black Sex Link and Austra White) and currently are the best egg layers of the bunch.

   Great chicks

   We received 17 female chicks in March. They were lively and active. We followed the directions, which helped them acclimate quickly. We lost one to what looked to be “pasty butt”; this was our fault for not recognizing it sooner and taking action to remedy it. The chicks grew quickly and were mixing with the older girls by early may. We got our first egg (a mini-egg) in late May; we have always had to wait until July in the past.

   This is our first experience with the Cackle Hatchery. We will go to them in the future. The quality of the chicks and the customer service are exceptional. The web site has the information you need to ensure that your new chicks are taken care of from the moment that they arrive.

   These folks deliver on their promises.

   Red Sex links are fun and Productive

   Red sex link hens are the BOMB! great layers and good free range candidates I had a 16×8 chicken house built 18 inches off the ground and an automatic chicken door that opened at sunrise and closed just before dark all my girls came home a little early and picked out their roost way up high. They came running when I arrived and kept all the ticks away too.

   Interesting birds

   Good but dumb hens. Decent layers. Need to follow the brighter chickens or seem to be lost and have difficulty getting back to coop. Also the least friendly and are more skittish than my Austra Whites.

   A hen

   Received these chicks mid March 2016 and one was a runt but made it and lives happily with all other hens in the order. Good layer of medium eggs but nothing bigger. These were ordered with Austra Whites and Black Sex Link chicks and have turned out to be the dumbest birds I’ve ever seen. They need to follow the others or become disoriented and are difficult to herd when I call them to go into the run. The other birds are much “smarter” and more humanly social but I guess that’s how it goes. Next time I may try another brown egg layer. Don’t get me wrong as these are not bad birds in any respect.

    Thank You

    I had a great experience with Cackle. My recent order of day old chicks went smoothly. I wanted to credit everyone from the person in the call center who took the order to the shipping department who sent them out with tracking number. I couldn’t be happier with Cackle’s delivery confirmation system. I wanted to thank everyone at Cackle for making this last order everything that I expected it to be.

    I am anxiously awaiting my chicks. I am so excited. It is my first time to have backyard chickens. I researched many hatcheries and found yours online. I was impressed and very much enjoyed your tutorial of the family business and history of the company. I also liked the videos of the different chicks and information given about the different varieties. I found that very helpful when choosing which varieties I wanted and would be best for us.
