I received an order of chicks from McMurray on Monday. The packing list inside the box showed what we ordered (34 chicks) plus the free rare/exotic and 2 additional 'free' chicks for a total of 37. A note inside the box said that a replacement had to be made, and they substituted 4 white orpingtons for 3 New Hampshires. We didn't order any New Hampshires, so we assumed that 3 different chicks were substituted. The substitution raised our total to 38 chicks. Our package arrived with 36 chicks, and one was dead. We were missing 4 leghorns that where shown on the packing list and the free rare/exotic.
I have 35 healthy chicks, which is exactly what I expected. A few of them are not the breeds that I originally ordered, but the replacements were good alternates. We did have a difficult time figuring out which chicks we received, since the packing list didn't match. I have nothing bad to say about McMurray, but I'm curious if anybody else has had this happen, and is it common?
