    best hatchery to purchase dark cornish?

    They're some of my favorites! The most dedicated mothers and very sweet girls. I have one (Esmerelda) that flies up to my shoulder when I bring treats. She knows she'll get extra up there. Lol! I expected them to be a bit mean by looking at the pictures of them, but they aren't. They're really...

    best hatchery to purchase dark cornish?

    I've never purchased from Stromberg's, but from what I understand Murray McMurray has their own hatchery. You can take an online tour of it and the TV show "How It's Made" did a show about their hatchery. We've purchase many chicks from McMurray and have never had any problems with them. We...

    We didn't get any roos, but have 13 DC hens from McMurray and are very happy with them. 7 of them went broody their first year and are great mothers. Good foragers and healthy. No problems at all.

    I know this is an older thread, but I have to say I'm totally happy with the 13 Dark Cornish that I got from McMurray. They're only 5 months old right now, all pullets. They are not all the same size, but are all very beautiful and some are very large. A few are smaller, I haven't weighed them...
