Lavender Ameraucana Breeders .... UNITE

[pips&peeps]

I am destined to not have Lavs, apparently! Two days ago my 5 week old Split cockerel was killed. I have 8 more in the bator, lockdown today and as luck would have it, the power short circuited last night! I woke up to an 80 degree bator and cold eggs. Crossing my fingers that they make it out!
I have another batch of about a dozen hatching next week, and grabbing a dozen BBS eggs tomorrow so HOPEFULLY I can get some good lavender pens set up this winter.

You do know I have lavenders too.... They are laying up a storm right now.

Jean, I thought you quit selling eggs, or am I misunderstanding your post?

Here is a picture of my one and only lav to hatch. "She" was the only chick to hatch period out of 14 shipped eggs

. So she is shown with her emergency hatch mate, a feed store EE.



She didn't like the tile counter and would not stand on it, lol.

Special Action Requested
Would you please help us say "NO" to the United States Post Office's plan to raise shipping rates on the poultry you order?​

Dear Valued Murray McMurray Hatchery Customer,
It has come to our attention the Post Office is requesting a change to the shipment of poultry through the mail. The following link is a copy of the proposal in PDF form or You can read the proposal on-line at the Federal Register: https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2013/04/24/2013-09603/new-mailing-standards-for-live-animals-and-special-handling
They are asking that a Special Handle Fee be charged on every Live Animal Shipment. This proposal would increase the postage amount by $9.00 to $11.95 per box.
The proposal outlines the new fees to be charged but it does not include any new rules to insure us that service would also improve. Nor does it offer how additional funds would address their concerns about; Protection of Postal Service employees, mail and the environment, or animals against death.
Please read the proposed changes and send your comments to the US Post Office. We have included a link to a sample letter (in MS Word) for your use. (Sample Letter Link)
Make your voice heard, do it today. The comment period ends next week May 24. Thank you for your continued support.
