Speckled Sussex Chicken

Bought chicks in past locally for 5 years. My sis got me an order for my bday from Cackle. I am extremely pleased with my order. I received a mixed order but of all 17 the 3 Speckled have stood out. At 6 weeks old they are the most friendly, curious and happy girls. They greet me first and will sit upon my shoulder or lap. I will definitely order from Cackle again. (Posted on 5/16/2017)

I love the speckled Sussex chickens I got from Cackle. A very tame & beautiful chicken. My son actually wanted them. We ordered 6 & got 6 healthy chicks & all are growing everyday into lovely hens. (Posted on 4/28/2017)

I recommend you to everyone! Instead of a 100 this year I'll give you a 95 rating. Pros: Great customer service, almost all of the chicks I ordered last year and this year arrived healthy, vigorous, and beautiful. Cons: First order placed in Dec. marked extras that I didn't get( no biggie just being honest) and one Easter Egger developed a crooked leg and we had to dispatch her. 1 of the Speckled Sussex pullets grew into a cockerel. But that is okay because they are all friendly, gorgeous, and healthy! I highly recommend them! Second order Feb. I've had two delays and changes to my last order of Black Ameracauna, Buff Brahma, Jumbo Cornish X, and Red Broilers. Order changed to May 3. But that is okay! Later means warmer and I don't have to worry about snowstorms so much for the chicks. The Cx last year were excellent and healthy! Not like the feed store birds. And the Black Ameracauna last year are outstanding birds. Overall you have done a great job and again, I recommend you to everyone! I just LOVE the Speckled Sussex! I'll only buy from Cackle.

Purchased 15 chicks--speckled sussex, easter egger, cinnamon queen, buff orpington and dark brahmas. I was sent two extra--buff orpington and easter egger. All chicks arrived super healthy and on time. It was a great experience with Cackle Hatchery from start to finish, and I'm so pleased since this was my very first experience purchasing chicks.

The speckled Sussex. In my opinion, the prettiest chicken around. they are also very tame! THANK YOU! (Posted on 10/7/2016)

Thanks so much for a healthy flock! The chicks arrived happy, healthy and all alive! I've raised many breeds of chickens, but these are possibly the most easy going birds I've raised yet! I'm a very happy customer and look forward to doing more business with Cackle Hatchery! (Posted on 9/18/2016)

We ordered three speckled Sussex and received four chicks. One had a bit of pasty butt probably through the stress of transport but I rinsed her bottom off with warm water and Hibiclens and she cleared right up. All four are now 11.5 weeks. They are very tame, healthy hens. We couldn't be happier with the four we received. Looking forward to having their eggs. (Posted on 7/21/2016)

You carried all of the chicks that I wanted and you minimum is 15 and the shipping charges are not as bad. Plus I live in Missouri also and it is good to support our area. Thanks for making me a happy customer. (Posted on 12/8/2015)

Your baby chicks arrived on time and in great shape. They are settling in nicely. Thank you for doing a great job at the hatching and sending part. And we really appreciated the very helpful descriptions regarding bird/breed characteristics. GOOD JOB!...WELL DONE! (Posted on 12/4/2015)

I received my order of pullets from you today and I just wanted to THANK-YOU. All of them are nice and healthy. This is all new to me, I have never ordered baby chicks, but you guys made it a wonderful experience!! I am very happy customer and will tell all my friends about your services. Thanks again, (Posted on 12/4/2015)

Just got our order of chicks and they look wonderful! Thank you for the extra two chicks. I can hardly wait to see what I have. They are drinking and eating and chirping happily in the brooder. Thank you for the great care you give in supplying these nice chicks. (Posted on 11/30/2015)

Now on the other chicks (Splash Cochins and Sussex) I think you may have crossed them with Michael Jordan. They have the biggest feet I've ever seen on an almost month old chick. My husband said he was so glad chickens didn't wear tennis shoes.:>))) One of the Sussex is named Trouble and that's enough said on her. Such a personality on that girl! The Cochins and Sussex are beautiful and the Spitzhauben are GORGEOUS! chicks. I wish I had room to build another chicken house and pen for a 100 of them. Wonderful looking chicks!!! I'm tickled to have them. Thanks so much, (Posted on 11/30/2015)

You hear a lot of complaints all the time. (I have read your message to the customers). What I want to tell you TODAY, however is THAT I THINK YOU DO A GREAT JOB, AND I AM 100% SATISFIED A++++WITH YOUR SERVICE, THE QUALITY OF THE BIRDS SENT, YOUR CATALOG, THE INTERNET AND ALL OF CACKLE HATCHERY--I LOVE IT. I have been ordering almost yearly from Cackle for about 10 years now I believe and I am never disappointed. There is nothing but good that comes from Cackle! (Posted on 11/20/2015)

I just wanted to send out a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to everyone at Cackle Hatchery. Our chicks have been nothing short of SPLENDID from you, always arriving warm, dry and healthy. Our customers have been very pleased with their chicks, some even bring me photos of last year's chickens, boasting about their egg production and health of their flock. We have enjoyed many repeat customers based on the over-all happiness of the chicks, that although come from our store YOU are the ones that deserve the accolades. Our store is the smallest in our chain but we have never been treated as if we were not as important as other stores with larger orders by your staff. Just this last Monday I called needing to put in an "Emergency" order as we quickly ran out of chicks that had just arrived 3 days earlier. I had to have new chicks in the store no later than Friday. I was wonderfully taken care of and sent via the phone to someone that could help me out in your "over-hatch". One hundred more chicks were not only ordered but shipped that day to my store. They arrived this morning right on time and in excellent health. i have had chickens all my life, dealt with many hatcheries but I can say without a doubt I have been most impressed by your customer service and quality of chicks.

Thank you so much for the wonderful chicks. They are all so kind. Some of them even will jump into my lap when I make a clicking noise. It is looking good for our chickens. Thank you. (Posted on 11/11/2015)
