Excellent experience with Murray McMurray Hatchery

[ramzroost]

You’re very welcome! I hope your chicks arrive safe and healthy! Post back with an update once they arrive!

They made it to me from the Harchery (1000 mile journey ) in 26 hours. They are all healthy and snuggled up in the brooder this evening. Very impressed by the Harchery and the USPS!

I had a good experience with them, too, and got them the day after they hatched. From the tracking it looks like they trucked them up to St. Paul MN form their Iowa hatchery, them flew them to Knoxville, then they were delivered by truck to the post office in my little town. The guy at the post office called me the m jute they arrived. I could not believe how quick it was. I only ordered 6, all different breeds, and one didn’t survive the week. But the other five are now three weeks old and thriving. They are still in a brooder with four girls who are two weeks older and I hope to move the, out to the coop in a couple of weeks to join their oldest sisters.

I wonder if St Paul is the quickest way out? Mine went there too…drove them almost 3 hours there. If it saves a day of ship time, that would make a lot of sense. Would also explain the price increase that happened on all of their birds about a month ago…costs money for fuel to drive 6 hours each group of shipments going out, and to pay a driver for that shift.

I read that they send them to St. Paul because that airport is significantly bigger than the closer one in Des Moines. I know there is a direct flight from St. Paul to Knoxville, but not one from Des Moines to Knoxville.
