    Love my Old English Game!

    I ordered a few of the Old English game and they are some of the most beautiful birds at the farm! Since you can’t choose the sex, I ended up with two pullets and two stags (which was perfect!) They arrived happy and healthy and I didn’t lose one chick…very happy with my purchase and I look forward to ordering more next year!

    worth taking the chance to order chicks

    All the chicks arrived healthy and ate and drank up a storm right out of the box. Very happy with what you guys sent. First time I ordered chicks thru the mail but will order from Cackle Hatchery again.

    Just a customer message

    Never knew Cackle Hatchery had over 300+ YouTube videos on products and breeder flocks. Very very interesting and a great customer tool to see different breeder flocks, different chickens, different set-ups in the way breeders keep their chickens, and even your product demos were intriguing. Keep up the good customer relations. These homegrown contests, the newsletter, and the “Born to be Wild speed freak video of hatch/shipping day are incredible hilarious and funny. Your public relation ideas are wonderful. And someone sure put in a lot video-taping all those flocks. Very very fun and enjoyable.

    I just received my order of assorted heavy breed chicks and all survived the trip and are very healthy and active. Thanks a lot!

    Blessing

    A few years ago I ordered some Old English Game from Cackle Hatchery. In the order (unbeknown to me) were two Bobwhite Quail. One was doa on arrival, the other was a male that was raised with the chickens. He was a blessing to say the least! While I had them caged together he had to constantly be on the run, but as soon as I could I let them all run free. He still hung out with the chickens but kept his distance. He even roosted in the trees with them. This seems crazy but when I would walk out of my house and he would see me ( sometimes 20 yards away) he would fly up to me. I would always have some grain to give him. It was so neat to see a bird that is shy in the wild to be so social. Unfortunately one day he spooked in the yard and sustained a wound when he flew into a fence. He died the next morning in my hands. I don’t know how that little guy made his way in the box of chickens but I’m so glad he did. I hope to get back on a farm some day soon and make an order from Cackle. That order will definitely include some Bobwhite Quail. I use to hunt quail. I couldn’t do that now, not after this experience and with everything else that they have to go through to survive.
