    Nothing but Kudos to Murray McMurray. So far they are batting 100% for us with two orders and are shipping to Alaska.

    The barred rock will be one of the later hens to start laying. When they do start you will be pleased with the egg production. They are moderately broody and really great mothers at raising other hens eggs. They are easy to free range and keep close to cover and prefer to forage inside of...

    Review by '' on item 'Black Sex Link chicken'

    I can't imagine anyone buying this chicken for a pet as it was bred to be an awesome brown egg producer and that is exactly what it is. Beautifully large to XXL eggs and double yokes are not uncommon every couple weeks. Ours like to cackle loudly when they get in the nest if anyone else is in...

    Hatcheries?

    We are completely sold on chicks from Murray-McMurray. Shipping to Alaska can be tricky at best but all of our chicks (18) arrived safe on an initial order. The next order was 25 Cornish X and all made it here alive as well and we didn't lose a chick. They may cost a little more but are worth...

    Here in Alaska we do need to use supplemental light because of the almost no light.during winter months. MDH found an LED bulb at Lowe's in the 5000k light range (simulates daylight). It only cost $4/year to operate and gives off great light. We have it set on a timer to come on at 6 a.m. and...

    North to Alaska!

    Me too. MDH says they are on a cycle but I don't care.

    North to Alaska!

    Agree completely with Alaskan. In addition to cost if the birds become acclimatized to having heat and we have one of our famous ice storms and lose power for 3 days, it will place extreme strain on them. It could possibly even kill or make sick the younger ones. We are firm believers in...

    Mature quicker than most and lay nice large to extra large eggs on a regular basis. Hens make excellent mothers and great for sitting on a variety of eggs from other hens too. They are a chicken who earns their keep after they start laying. They can lay for up to 5 years.
