Gobble until you wobble with a turkey from the Cackle Hatchery

Jessica Cuevas Staff Reporter Nov 24, 2022

Get turkeys shipped to your front door from the Cackle Hatchery. Cackle Hatchery is in Lebanon, Missouri, and ships all kinds of live poultry.

The Cackle Hatchery website said it is a 3rd generation, family-owned, business that has one simple goal which is giving its buyers healthy and quality poultry. 

Cackle Hatchery emphasizes the care of the live poultry once received and includes instructions for your convenience, the Cackle Hatchery website said.

“As a buyer of live animals, your responsibility is to provide an environment with proper heat, bedding, food, and water as given in our care sheet,” the website said. “The care sheet instructions are to be read at the time of ordering your birds (preparation information) and read again at the time of delivery of birds.”

The website also said the poultry is taken care of and well-kept before they are shipped off. 

“Cackle’s chick hatchery and Cackle’s chicken breeder farms selectively breed and raise our own breeding stock,” the Cackle Hatchery website said. 

Furthermore, the Cackle Hatchery website said how the seasons may vary depending on what poultry is available for shipping.

“Chick season typically begins in the spring and lasts through the summer months for most breeds of poultry,” the website said. 

The Cackle Hatchery website has many options listed to choose from and even bundles to save you some money.

On the website it said options will include broad breasted turkeys that grow huge, heritage turkeys that were described as “Rare turkey, sustainable turkey, or homestead turkey,” and bargain specials. 

The Cackle Hatchery website said if your order is over $25 and meets the requirements, you may be eligible for free shipping.

“Free Shipping is also only for products that are indicated free shipping,” the website said. “Free Shipping is when the total order of any supplies exceeds $25. A supply order of less than $25 will have shipping added to the order (an additional $9.99).” 

Shipping options may vary, and a return policy may also apply, the Cackle Hatchery website said. 

“We ship poultry only to the United States and not internationally,” the website said. “We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Prior approval is required before merchandise can be returned.”For more information on the Cackle Hatchery, click here: Cackle Hatchery.
