Murray McMurray problems anyone else?

The replacement order from Murray McMurray was fine. All the birds survived, although one of them seemed to have some kind of birth defect and ended up dying about a week after arrival.

I guess we will see what the summer brings. Happy Clucking, Ya'll.

How many, what kind you ordered? One casualty out of 40 isn't bad in the bigger scheme of things.

I tried Murray McMurray for the first time this year as they had some breeds I couldn't find elsewhere. I placed the order in February and coordinated hatch dates for 3 different breeds: Anconas, Minorcas & Fayoumis. Ship date was in April. Chicks arrived 2nd day after hatch with 1 DOA (Minorca), 2 little roos extra (one is white leghorn, other is ??), the minorcas and anconas but they had swapped out the Fayoumis for some leetle bitty chipmunk stripey chicks which turned out to be Rainbow Phoenixes which I had never heard of. I wish I had known about the swap as I would have preferred a sturdier, more common heavy layer over the phoenixes. I'll go back to Ideal & Mt.Healthy.
