    11 Day old chick not growing and weak

    Hi Jenny, I'm happy to say that my little one has improved dramatically. She is still much smaller than the others, but has started growing, running around, grabbing for treats, and otherwise acting like a normal little chick. I didn't think that it was a vitamin issue, since my chicks have...

    What's your experience been with McMurray?

    No problem Quail_Antwerp, written words can be difficult to interpret sometimes. If others have had a similar experience to mine, I would like to see if McMurray would be willing to offer next day shipping. I'm sure many of us would be willing to pay the extra money, right? If I had bad...

    11 Day old chick not growing and weak

    She is still hobbling around like a little old man! She's also still eating and drinking - and well I might add! She is no longer letting the other ones step on her, which I'm happy about. I didn't want to take her out unless I had to - she really enjoys snuggling up with the others. I...

    What's your experience been with McMurray?

    Wow, a lot of die hard McMurray fans in here. Is it so hard to believe that a company can make some mistakes now and then? And halo, please read my entire posts before attempting to post nothing more than something meant to antagonize. If you've had good experiences with them then I can...

    What's your experience been with McMurray?

    I'm not trying to bash McMurray. I'm just looking for information. I checked them out thoroughly before ordering. The BBB rates them highly as do many other sources. They've just been less than honest with me and I want to see if others have had similar experiences. The chicks were stuck...

    11 Day old chick not growing and weak

    Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions! I'm a bit worried about giving her more vitamins because she already gets quite a bit in her food and her water. I don't want to overdose her. Eggs are kind of twisted but I'll give it a shot. I've already tried to get her to eat some homemade...

    What's your experience been with McMurray?

    I have had serious trouble with McMurray and am quite ticked off at them. Just wondering what others' experiences have been, as we keep being told that our situation was a "fluke." McMurray shipped out the first set of chicks that had hatched on 2/6/09 on 2/7/09. They didn't get here...

    11 Day old chick not growing and weak

    Hi all, I received a shipment of chicks from McMurray hatchery a week and a half ago. The birds were stuck in the mail for FOUR DAYS - poor things - more than a third died within 24 hours. The survivors were all incredibly stressed out - all had pasty butts for days. They are all doing...
