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

What does that even mean, APA certified? All that should matter is if the APA recognizes the breed, right?

APA is the American Poultry Association. The oldest poultry organization in the U.S.A. There goal is to help keep and maintain the standard breeds in America. Probably should be APA recognized. Not certified.

Umm, I know what the APA is. I had never heard the term APA certified. NPIP certified, sure. PT tested, absolutely. APA show quality, fine. APA certified...

Thanks to google, here is the answer:

Yes, the word is certified. The American Poultry Association has a "flock certification" program.

They have a web page about it:

I have used McMurray several times over the years and have had nothing but good luck, all arrived on time as promised and never one dead bird. They will always have my business.
