I ordered some of the Cornish Broilers to compare with the jumbo Cornish Cross. Also coming are a few replacement layers and a new rooster for my Wyandottes... So much fun! I keep my family and neighbors in meat and eggs all year ;-) Thank you for such healthy birds. It makes it easy! I have my first spring shipment next week and I’m so excited!

So if you are there and shipping out chicks on hatch day again, look for my order ! Kelly in Oklahoma! I'm so excited, I've been reading the blog, the website and watching the youtube channel. They are all really well done and you deserve much kudos for your work for the internet crowd. The mystery chick is such fantastic idea, I am have so much fun speculating what I will get and hoping it is one of the many breeds I regret not ordering....and I think I literally ordered 10 or 11 different breeds. Much enjoyment on my end and the chicks have not even hatched yet! Thank you! Also, if you are curious where those chicks end up: we are back-yarders with a kindergartener who are keeping chickens for eggs, bug control/gardening/compost and our own amusement.

I have marvelled in my imagination at how it must work, to get all those little bundles of joy from the newly lain egg to a peeping chick in a box on it's way to to it's home. I received one of those little peeping boxes last week. This is the 2nd batch of chicks I have received from McMurray Hatchery. The first batch was from the last hatch of 2010. I so enjoyed raising up my little babies to a beautiful flock. I had wanted chickens for ever and a day, ever since I was a child and helped my Grandmother feed the hens and gather eggs on the farm. Having my own chickens was everything I ever thought it should or would be. I kept my flock in a 1/4 acre fenced area. They were very happy there and I could easily watch them from the house or yard. This last November we had some significant wind one night. It blew the garden gate open and our dog went in and killed my entire flock. I was heart broken to say the least! I was so upset I contemplated putting the dog down. Instead I found her a good home with children and no chickens. Knowing how sad I was at losing my hens, My daughter and Son-in-law gave me a McMurray's gift certificate for Christmas. I put in an order for the first hatch of 2012. They arrived a week ago today. I am so HAPPY to have them. They are healthy and energetic and growing like crazy. Thank you to Murray McMurray Hatchery for having such beautiful robust chicks and thank you to all the workers who will perform this weekly miracle to get those chicks to their new homes.

It's been 8 months of learning experiences and fun ever since.
