    Murray McMurray hatchery???????

    Received 33 birds 3/29 and we have had 2 fatalities and one not looking so good within 72 hours of receipt.

    Our ship date is tomorrow. We CANNOT wait! I will certainly post photos. We've been long-time McMurray fans, but were really eager to expand into waterfowl and guinea. I'll also post some photos of our renovated coop, my husband converted our shed into a 3 part coop, two living spaces that...
