My very first chicks were from McMurray. I got them in November of 2007. They all did well until 6 weeks. For some reason they started showing signs of paralysis in their legs and eventually died. I had emailed them about the problems and they wouldn't even give me an idea of what it could have been. Out of the 26 I received, I only have 4 to show for it. I never had them diagnosed since I really don't know where to go or who to call for that. I have never ordered from them since.
If they did well for 6 weeks whatever they died from wasn't the hatchery's fault. They delivered healthy chicks to you which was all they were responsible for. I don't know of any hatchery that guarantees anything beyond live delivery.
