Poor packing and customer service

I have ordered from them before. 2 orders ago, they got the Anconas mostly right, bit they killed the xtra free chick, they are pretty aggressive. That aside, the order filler messed this order up pretty good. I have his name if they want to discuss. I ordered 16 chicks of mixed breed layers. I got 25 chicks, ten of which were broiler chicks. I had so many die, Im down to 9, and the sexes are still unknown. Next time, I'll shop around, as they show no interest in customer service, and blame my order on the post office instead of the person that packed my order.

My family has ordered chicks and ducks…

My family has ordered chicks and ducks from Murray McMurray for many years and we’ve had great experiences with them. The only problems we’ve had have been with the USPS not shipping them correctly or not calling us when they arrived at the post office. The customer service has been excellent and we’ve always gotten what we ordered.

Only 16% survived after 2 weeks

Out of 50 chicks that my wife and I ordered, 17 died within the first two days of arrival. An additional 25 chicks have died since then, leaving us with a survival rate of 16%. We contacted Murray McMurray, and they basically told us that it’s not their problem, even though they claim they guaranteed their orders for a limited time (48 hours after delivery). They claim their chickens are vaccinated and well cared for, but statistically, in my opinion, this is way too high a death rate for vaccinated chicks. I would recommend other breeders and dairy farmers stay away from this seller.
