    Using broiler chickens as egg laying chickens and letting their genes mix in a flock of egg chickens?

    I posted this on the breeds form but didn't get a response. I wonder if it was better here since the whole point is about mutts rather than purebreds. I know Big Red broilers (Murray's Hatchery) are not a true breed, and at the moment we have a motley Crew of heritage chickens that are mixed...

    Are Murray Mcmurray's birds show quaility? Is this a good hatchery?

    I would be in the future possible interested in the sebrights (both gold and silver) and Egyptian Fayoumis along with other bantam breeds and possibly their French Black Copper Marans. Are their birds show quality and what are your experiences with this hatchery? Good or not? Thx,

    Bad McMurray Experience

    Hi friends! I need to vent because I’m still not over what happened. I know McMurray has a great reputation, people generally love them. However I had a horrible experience with them exactly a week ago and it’s just weighing heavily on my mind. I had ordered 10 silver polish, a color I do not...

    Keeping Brooder Dry

    I’m planning to purchase some ducklings from McMurray something in October. This isn’t the first time I’ve raised ducklings, so I know how messy they will make it. I have put pans with mesh on top of them under they’re waterer, even made a draining system for a bigger pan, but the pipe was...

    Cackle or McMurray?

    Hi, this is my first post! I am in 4H (SW Missouri) and looking to show at a county fair. The standard is fairly low for birds there, and we have won reserve Best of Show with McMurray birds there. I'm primarily looking for Salmon Faverolles, Red Shouldered Yokohamas, and Sumatras for show...

    Bielefelder cockerel? Cream legbar?

    Hello chicken friends, I got this little guy from McMurray Hatchery. S/he was the free, mystery, straight run chick that McMurray adds to orders (if you request it). I was thinking that s/he was a male bielefelder because of the coloring but now I'm doubting my theory. I feel like the coloring...

    Whiting true blues?

    I ordered six true blue females from McMurray hatchery, they arrived today and I got seven checks total one was free surprise chick. The website says they come in a variety of colors but because of that I can’t tell which check is not a Whiting true blue. I would think it was the white one but...

    McMurray Starter Pullets

    I have snooped around this forum and it seems that everyone has relatively good things to say about McMurray hatchery. I was wondering if anyone has ordered the laying adult hens from them? Should I go ahead and get them or is it not worth it?

    My chickens have arrived!

    My chickens arrived today!!! OMG! I already have a small problem with them getting out of the wire kennel I'm using for a brooder. Apparently mine can get some air time at two or three days old!!! I didn't expect that to be a problem for while. I ordered from McMurray, and let me tell you, I'm...

    My 2018 McMurray Hatchery order. Columbian Wyandotte, Speckled Sussex and Leghorns.

    Just had to share some pictures of my morning... My order from McMurray Hatchery is in. I ordered 12 Speckled Sussex, 6 Columbian Wyandottes, 7 Pearl White Leghorns (of which there are actually 8, they sent an extra. And then the rare chick that I now think is a Sultan. All chicks alive and...
