They do well in confinement but are often bullied by other breeds if kept in flocks with other breeds. White Sultans got their name because they were once favored by the rulers of Turkey.

I recently purchased White Sultan chickens from Cackle Hatchery, and I couldn’t be more pleased! From the moment they arrived, I was impressed with their health and vitality. They have the most elegant appearance with their unique feathered crests and muffs, and they are incredibly friendly and calm. The service from Cackle Hatchery was top-notch, and we couldn’t be happier with our new additions. I highly recommend their White Sultan chickens to anyone looking for something special for their flock!

I received my order right on schedule and the birds have grown out well. They are a bit more temperamental than some breeds, but nothing that good care won’t overcome. I’m very pleased with the breed and look forward to increasing my flock!

Received 6 beautiful and healthy chicks but sadly 1 passed away at 4 weeks due to severe crossbeak deformity, which is nobodies fault and is just an anomaly that affects these types of birds sometimes. The other five are very sweet and doing beautifully. They are extremely docile and loving and I would highly recommend them especially for kids due to their docile nature. Have had a great experience with the hatchery every time I’ve ordered.

The Sultans from Cackle are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If you’re a fan on Silkies, you NEED to try this breed… These are some of the most beautiful, kind, truly innocent little souls on the planet. They’re not birds you can throw in with a dominant flock, they are true pets, and need you to tuck them in every night. Haha! The Roosters are pure Angels, if you want a pet, it doesn’t matter what you get. They’re equally sweet and kind. There is no equal for the beauty, innocence, and and bond that you create with these awesome birds. One of my favorite breeds!

I was so excited to gets these beauties as a new customer but sadly they arrived dead and the ones that were alive were barely hanging on and passed within hours. After probably 9 emails with NO response from this hatchery I decided to leave a review. They got 2 stars instead of 1 because the dead chicks were good quality 🙁
Cackle Hatchery (store manager) –
I am very sorry that we had failed communications with the email system. I am pleased that we were finally able to make contact and get your reshipment scheduled. Please keep us updated on the new arrivals.

Beautiful and healthy chicks!
I ordered 3 Sultans June 1, 2019, and they sent 4! One was a bit small but healthy. They are all doing well. Had to give one of the roos away. People who meet my chickens are awed by their good looks and gentle nature. My chickens spend a couple hours a day in the house with me so are very, very tame. They are so gentle, sweet and love to be held.
This was my first time ordering from Cackle and would order from them again. Very helpful folks, always ready to answer any of my questions. Thank you Cackle Hatchery!

Love them
We ordered 6 white sultans in our shipment. We had never had the breed before and thought they would make an interest addition to our son’s hatchery. I grew up with leghorns and cochins. And I now have to say these little one are now one of my absolute favorite breeds. They are adorable, sweet and full if personality. They take a little extra winter care, but are totally worth it. We will definitely be ordering more. Perfect breed for shows it pets, especially for children

Sultan Chickens
I ordered a variety of chickens that included four sultans for my small backyard flock. All arrived in great condition and healthy. The sultans are my absolute favorites, they are super friendly and love to be held. I ended up with two hen’s and two roo’s, the hens want more attention than the roo but all are extremely docile and loving. I will always have this breed in my flock, they are simply delightful little birds. Visitors love them because they run up and wait patiently by their feet to be picked up and loved on. If you want some lovable birds for your flock these are the best!

Sultan Chicks
I just wanted to let you know my wife and I picked up our Sultan chicks this morning at the PO. All 21 arrived safe, healthy and alert. Your staff took the time to call us explain any problems and come up with new options and they were so helpful. Thank You So Much! This is the first time we have order chicks through the mail and were a bit worried. Many people on Backyard Chickens spoke highly of the chicks they received from you so we decided to try with you first. While we don’t need any more chicks at the moment, when we do we will definitely be ordering again from you.

Thank You
I placed a order for 3 African Geese 25 sultans and 10 silkies and received them as healthy and happy as they could be. I am once again a very pleased customer. I put Cackle Hatchery before all others. You have the best price, best service and the best quality. I look forward to my next order, just not sure when but there will be another. Thank you for the extras, this goes to show just how much you care. Thanks you again
