    Free "rare" mystery chick? UPDATE: New Pictures!

    I love McMurray Hatcheries! They've always been very pleasant to deal with. My first free chick was a roo white polish. I've had several different kinds. Please don't expect all 25 to be hens! You'll be extremely lucky if they are!!! No one's perfect!! Good luck! Shanon

    Will my eggs still be eatable?

    If you are anywhere near Northport or Tuscaloosa I'd be glad to go gather them for you while you are gone. With it being so hot here I would throw them away - but that's just me. Shanon
