I have heard of Murray McMurray hatchery for yrs now on many homestead channels. Thanx Jason and Lorraine for taking us with you! It was neat to see how the hatchery operates

[@ellenfisher6341]

We get all our baby chicks that we purchase from Murray McMurray . They are a fantastic company to deal with ! We have 16 Bielefelders coming from them the week of April 11th ~ Yayyyyyy !!!

[@zaneymay]

So they have a farm with all the adult birds. I would love to see that!!!

[@edhondo4447]

I bet Mcmurray hatchery orders will pick up in the next few weeks because of this video .. good job guys . you guys are really getting me excited with the 14 acres and all .. now lets talk about adoption , i'm house broke i collect social security so i won't be another expense .. lol good video guys

[@Gardendreamsforme]

Lol, placed my order in January and can’t be delivered until July….. They’re very popular and busy!

[@lindapeterson2684]

I’ve been buying Chicks from Murray McMurray for 40 years…and rarely had any losses….Great company….thanks for the video love seeing the processing…

[@francinemitchell3809]

McMurray is where I get my chicks.. and I'm all the way out in Massachusetts. Always very healthy chicks!

[@843andyville.5]

How? They are sold out every year.....

[@diannt9583]

Same, here!!

[@sandracunningham2689]

Very nice to see the whole process. Thank you

[@oakandbarrelfarm9391]

Awesome tour! Since we moved we’ll be sourcing our broilers (5,000+ yearly) and our layer flock (200) from them ☺️ 🐓

[@tracyboyd4867]

Thankyou for the tour its great to see the operation behind all the chickies that get sent out to all the homesteaders...fuzzy muggins chick was my favourite too lorraine...

[@glennylane6854]

What a great video! Everyone talks about McMurray and great to see the process.

[@tjeanvlogs9894]

I am west of Seattle WA, and found McMurray to be the best source for chicks even this far away.

[@robertbakerii5469]

That was incredible! I love field trips.

[@SowtheLand]

thanks for watching Robert! I appreciate it.

[@LoriSeaborg]

I can hear 44 of those chicks in the brooder in my garage right now. They're 4 weeks old. It was an easy process, and fun to pick up at the post office.

[@jodyflores601]

Thank you for spot lighting Murray McMurray, this Iowa gal appreciates it! Please pray for Murray McMurray Hatchery, they have had an avian influenza outbreak in some of their breeder flocks. Please pray for peace for their hearts and preservation for the flocks genetics. Many blessings to you!

[@theunsteadysteader]

That was AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for this video. Special thanks to McMurray Hatcheries for hosting this video!!!

[@kathleenbaron1405]

My chicks were already ordered from McMurray….They were so helpful in which chicks to order, and when to deliver. Thanks for a peek behind the scenes! I am even more excited for my chicks to arrive!

[@jimmg8994]

We've been getting our chickens from McMurray for years- very happy with them. So cool to see how it's done. Thanks!

[@mitziburton3999]

Great job on the Murray McMurry hatchery

[@itsangelslife]

wow that's so cool. Thanks for the tour!

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks for watching!

[@maggidull1952]

Such an interesting video! I will be just getting into backyard chicken raising in about a month when I expect my Murray McMurray shipment to arrive with all Barred Rocks. Exciting! Thanks for sharing your visit.

[@alancummings5008]

This is great. For years, I worked at a farmers Co-op. We sold chicks, and we also had a division that produced layer poults, so we received lots of chicks. I wondered how they were produced, but I never knew. Thanks for the tour.

[@MynewTennesseeHome]

That's neat to see how the chicks are processed. I bet some of those eggs in the incubator are mine😁 I have chicks due to be delivered in about two weeks.

[@wendyhall8834]

This was very interesting! I love that it is still family owned!

[@senaloudermilk4662]

Iv had there catalogs for some time I love how informative they are

[@4KidsandaFarm]

We love Mcmurray hatchery! What a fun day!

[@bettyrickert7272]

Thank you Jason that was really great to see Murray McMurry hatchery. Wow that’s a lot of chickens. Granny B

[@margaretbedwell3211]

Thank you so much for taking us along to McMurry Hatchery. This was such a special experience. I hope you get home within that 3 day window. Have a Blessed day.

[@karstencreekfarm5258]

Now I know for sure I will get my baby chickens from McMurray Hatchery. Thank you for taking us along.

[@deborahtrout8821]

Awwww....Chickies! I want some! Just paid $1.71 for a doz eggs. This was an awesome video! Thanks for sharing. 💕

[@SILSpring]

What a great opportunity to tour McMurray Hatchery

[@rebeccamunoz4596]

That was cool thanks🤗❤👍glad you got to film the process

[@anjin77]

It looks like they run a class operation, thank you McMurray for allowing the tour - it speaks volumes when a producer allows cameras because they must be confident and proud of their operation, and that says a lot these days. I hope they've been able to weather the storm with the avian flu that plagued our country recently.

[@EyeintheSky999]

Thank you and the folks at McMurray for letting you share a behind the curtain .

[@nemesis9330]

I've ordered from Murray McMurray for 30 years. They are outstanding!

[@kimpiedra2994]

Great video! Thank you!

[@jimmyr4448]

I really enjoyed this I first ordered from mc Murray's way back 1985

[@alisonshanahan9529]

Love how the kids got to help out, beautiful memory for them ❤.

[@cheongyei]

Fascinating. What a great operation, so clean and professional. So nice that you got a tour of a facility that doesn't do tours!!!

[@chelemichele1524]

Gosh... another field trip fun! Learn something new 105 years wow... Have a good evening 🌱🌱🌱

[@StoneKathryn]

That was a great tour of the Murray McMurray Hatchery! Wow, what an operation! No wonder the chicks I get from there are so healthy. I'm glad you got to see your chicks while you were there. Did Miss P. get to box them up? That's cool. I hope you get home before they do. That's amazing that they have been hatching chicks for over 100 years. They seem to have an amazing hatch rate too. Thanks for this Contrares family.

[@artlifewitheleaw1221]

Such a fun video! When I was growing up my family always ordered from Murray McMurray every spring 😄 so many happy memories!

[@link8283]

You folks are awesome! You got this and can’t wait to see your progress.

[@angelaanderson5360]

That video was awesome. Thank you.

[@joannmahaffey1068]

Thank You for the great tour and thank you Mcmurray and co. for letting Jason in to do this. Great video .

[@adelacoburn1396]

Hello, now that was cool field trip I've been on in a long time. What a great organization at McMurray and such a long history in the hatchery business. Thank you for taking us along with you, looking forward to your next video.

[@deonnfoster7435]

Keep it up. I love it! Thnx.

[@ajourneymaryb]

Thank you for doing this tour. It's so cool to see how they process their chickens and it was informative also. I did not know they shipped across the whole u.s. (thanks you also McMurray hatchery for allowing this tour). When I was a young child our school field trip was to the Holsum bakery wow so cool for a child to see and learn how things work. So this brought back a good childhood memory and gave me a new one. Thank you so much. And congrats on your new homestead.

[@thepadillafamilyhomestead]

Thank you for sharing your tour.

[@TOMMYBITESTV]

I appreciate the behind the scenes of the hatchery. 🦋

[@christineherbold4342]

I was the winner from Facebook live! I couldn't believe it. Now we are enjoying our chicks! Plus, now I get to follow/subscribe to your amazing channel! Win/Win

[@geodegroot8310]

McMurray and others are absolutely astounding....105 varieties and 50 thousand eggs a week! The amazing egg machines are not the ultimate ingredient....it is the dedicated human beings that make this all possible. As a small time incubator/propagator, I salute you, and all of the family-owned hatcheries that give us wondrous chicks to start with! Gooooooo Homesteaders. Good Luck to you.

[@robingivens8276]

That was fascinating! I just got my Australorps in the mail yesterday. First time ever ordering thru the mail. It was 27 degrees.I was so afraid they would be dead. But nice and warm, active and vocal. It was very interesting to see how they came to be.

[@RoaringRootsNursery]

This is really cool to see! Thanks for the video!

[@stephaniewilson3955]

No wonder Murray McMurray have such a good reputation. They take every precaution they can think of to ensure healthy chicks.

[@RalphLaurant]

That is the most imaginative tour that I have seen in a good while.. Fun to see you leave your new home given giant things to do... and give your viewers an idea of behind the scenes with producing those chicks... from your supplier...

[@squizzyicetea]

I can only IMAGINE how LOUD that room is

[@DoubleDHomestead]

I love this company. Our family has been buying from them for over 70 years, several generation of us. Great chicks and great service!!!!

[@kayhelton701]

Love tours like this. Thanks

[@ladybugssunflowers7076]

Wow! That's was neat to see. Thank you! Thank you McMurray Hatchery for letting us see.

[@tericrosbie2052]

Thank you!!!! What an awesome tour, I've always wandered how it all worked lol Love from New Zealand

[@davidn.gaskill5774]

I ordered chicken from Murray for about 25years never had a problem wish I had some now great hatchery 👍😃

[@sarabarentine8310]

That was very cool to see. Thanks for taking us along.

[@oldfarmer9004]

We’ve been buying our chicks from Mc Murray’s since we started raising birds 20 years ago! We’ve never ever had bad luck from them. Love the video! I think it’d be fun to check out myself!

[@CharlesBledsoe]

We got some baby chicks from McMurray and they are about 16 days old right now and they are all healthy. I plan on ordering more in the future and I really enjoyed this video.

[@Macasmum]

So many babies. Thanks for my fluffy fix. I get excited when i hatch 12. The numbers are overwhelming.

[@heatherk8931]

I loved the tour and to see all the chicks, FuzzyMuggins included! Nice! Field trips are still educational at my age!!🥰🥳

[@amyb5339]

I was so happy that the 14 eggs I had in my Brinsea maxi all hatched.I cheated and used my own eggs. I was feeling so successful....and then I watched this vlog. An I am SO small potatoes in comparison 🤣Thanks for the tour Jason!!

[@Preciousaccordingto977]

I have used Murray McMurray hatchery for over 20 years! They have never failed to produce excellent chicks and turkeys for me! I love working with these guys!

[@kebergify]

So amazing to be able to see this hatchery!!! Thank-you, Jason , Lorraine & Penelope for taking us along. Pretty darn cool since they don't give tours!

[@mariezembas7109]

First year ordering ducks & chicks from McMurray. We are so pleased with the service and most of all, our new birds. Will be ordering meat chickens next year.

[@lynnb7511]

OMG! I cringed every time they picked up the babies by the head and threw them back in the box. I know McMurray is good! I purchased my babies from them and everyone lived! Placing another order now. thanks for the tour!!

[@silvarios5381]

They are the best no question...I have done research on McMurray and the business. Hight quality. They ROCK

[@silvarios5381]

I'll order all my bird breeds chickens ducks turkeys geese . This Spring

[@cindybickford9939]

WOW!! Thank you for showing us

[@emeraldwaterlifehomestead2180]

What an amazing hatchery, love it. How do they recycle all the egg shells? ❤️

[@h.s.6269]

That's something i'm also curious of. I wonder if they have a place that buys them to make something from them like calcium supplements for livestock/gardening or if they send them to get composted down proper.

[@suzanneo1124]

Holy cow! What an incredible tour! Wow. I’m blown away at the volume the hatchery works with on a daily basis; simply incredible.

[@stellajeffrey647]

Good evening everyone 👋🏻 all of those chicks look lovely. Good vlog 😊

[@jay-rus4437]

We have 15 chicks coming this week. Feb 2023. Very first time for us. Built a beautiful coop and run. Im a GC so I tend to overdo everything. Lol

[@honiebird3789]

Such a fun video. Thanks for sharing!

[@lisaburkett146]

Got my Turkeys from you this year. I am very pleased and my baby's are growing fast!

[@oldcontrypines]

Great tour and so interesting. Thank you!

[@kennithompson2398]

That was really interesting, thanks! Can't wait to see how your new homestead comes along! Blessings!!

[@pampilgrim2274]

Hi, Jason and Lorraine! Thanks so much for this interesting video.

[@rawilson7768]

I loved this tour of McMurray Hatchery. I love “factory” tours so you can learn how things are made or processed.

[@lucywapen4375]

This chicken farm is so clean It's a family business that's great 👍🇵🇬

[@tammycornett5631]

Thank you for sharing this--I enjoyed it so much. I've always wanted to see inside a hatchery!🥰

[@onlyXknives]

I live about 1 hr from McMurray's Hatchery

[@jofarwell9744]

QUESTION? WHAT DO THEY DO WITH THE EGG SHELLS? Jason & family, Your successful YT committment and open sharing has led to another fabulous once in a lifetime opportunity! Thanks for taking us along! Jason, you have grown so confident as a 'tour guide', narrator, producer & editor that I believe you have exceeded Huell Howser of 'California Gold' fame and professionalism! (Did you ever watch him on PBS?) 👍😃🐣

[@mickybearden9641]

I Love seeing this Process....Murray McMurray is really Responsible....Love Them!

[@belieftransformation]

Wonderful tour & vlog; thanks for sharing & taking us along! Blessings to your family 🤗❤️🇨🇦

[@rebelm1133]

When we lived in Webster City McMurray Hatchery always sponsored our city league girls softball team. Great company!

[@trentenanderson4234]

Ordered 9 chicks from there, shipping out in a couple weeks! Very excited!

[@ABlueDahlia]

Great video on them. Thanks!

[@DailyRollcall]

Got mine arrived at the post office they let me have them before the office opened all chickens where alive and well and now 11 weeks old, wow lucky they let you in.

[@frutbum]

Beautiful facility. Bought mine from them, super fast delivery. I love what they did with their website.

[@austinfierro7509]

The only company I have ever ordered from. They are a amazing family and do a amazing job!

[@kalijuri]

Well run biz! Amazing to watch the process. Our next batch will be from you.

[@dawnakern7467]

This is where I got most of my show chickens in 4-H. I won a lot of trophies, even at international shows. My husband is building me a chicken coop for my 64th birthday. I will get a trio of black langshans even though I specialized in BBRed Old English Game, creating my own strain too. I fell in love with the langshan breed, can't wait to order from Mc Murray.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]
