    Murray Mcmurray

    I ordered from McMurray last year (my first year) and had great results! All chicks were healthy and they sent an extra austrolorp and a free mystery bird. All female except for the free "mystery" bird. The mystery bird turned out to be male Buttercup and he was beautiful - although I gave him...

  12. The windows close and latch from the inside. All windows have a fine mesh screen and a wood paneling around the screen to make predator proof. In the summer months we leave the windows open 24x7 unless a storm is heading our way.

  13. One of the windows busted out when Hurricane Sandy blew through Maryland. We also discovered we need to coat the tin roof as we got several leaks from that storm. We're going to replace all of the glass windows with plexi glass this spring.
