Murray McMurray Statement on Avian cases

[AgnesGray]

Thanks! I'm surprised that all but one survived that LONG journey!

So am I to be honest. But, I will say their two shipments we've had this spring have been the most lively hatchery chicks we have had so far. Tuesday-Saturday is a long trip though.

@AmeraucanaHank what did you order again? Can we see pics?

2 more died this morning. But you win some and you lost some, right.

@AmeraucanaHank what did you order again? Can we see pics?

I ordered 2 buff orpingtons,3 silver-laced-wyandottes,5 ameraucanas,2 barred rocks.
(1 buff orpington died, & 1 barred rock died) I will try to post pic when there stronger.

The chicks that survived was a sad 7 but Murray McMurray will send me a replacement order.

@lluveggers Did you get your chicks?

@lluveggers Did you get your chicks?

Yes! All 14 made it and arrived less than 24 hours after shipping. Most went to the farm (4 weeks old today), but I kept the Welsummer and the Americana/EE from that group for my home flock. The EE is whitish-grey…so I’m wondering what she will look like as she grows! McM did a fantastic job, and told us because our order was affected by AI that we will get a preorder email along with other affected customers, to order for next year before opening their ordering to the general public. Overall I am very happy with their customer service & chicks. Not one had pasty butt or any other issues!

My white ee from a different place grew white and buff feathering

Cool! What were all the breeds you ordered? Do you have any pics?

 

[Iluveggers]

We ordered 2 WTB, 2 WTG, 2 Welsummer, one each of cuckoo Marans, Delaware, Americana/EE, SLW, Buff Orpington, Columbian Wyandotte, Ancona, and Andalusian.
Here is a pic when they arrived:

The little bottom grey one on the right with the head mark is the EE, who has grown in more white now. One of the welsummers is at the very top. Here are pics of the two of them now!
