Time and time again I see negative hatchery reviews, but with every one negative experience you see, there are hundreds of positive experiences you don’t see. I would like to share my most recent experience with Murray McMurray Hatchery.

On May 20th I placed my order for 12 White Leghorn pullets and 13 straight run Silver Leghorns, as well as a free mystery chick. I chose the week of June 2nd for my chicks to ship. The ordering process online was seamless and user friendly. I got the notification yesterday June 3rd that my chicks had shipped and a call from my local post office today, June 4th at 2:30 pm that my chicks had arrived! So my chicks spent less than 24 hours in shipping! Upon arrival at the post office, we opened the box of chicks and all 27 chicks (they sent 1 extra Silver Leghorn) were alive and well. The free mystery chick is a Sicilian Buttercup and my son is so excited about it. Once we got the chicks home, they immediately began happily eating and drinking when I placed them in the brooder, all without me having to show them where the food and water was. They are perfect, healthy, and vigorous, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience.

I have only ever used Murray McMurray Hatchery and they have always done right by us. Even when we have lost chicks during shipping, they immediately replaced the lost chicks. Murray McMurray Hatchery is a family owned business that I trust, and I felt obliged to share my experience.

Oh boy, happy babies! Psst, you're going to need a bigger brooder! Lol
That is the brooder we keep chicks in for a day or two after hatching in the house. I just wanted them close by for a bit so I could watch them in case one started acting poorly. I will move them to the brooder building maybe tomorrow or one day this weekend. We have hundreds of chickens and lots of brooders. lol. 😆
