Hatching 50,000 chickens in One Day at McMurray Hatchery

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

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 !!!

[@glennylane6854]

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

[@jimmg8994]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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...

[@link8283]

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

[@theunsteadysteader]

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

[@tjeanvlogs9894]

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

[@wendyhall8834]

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

[@TOMMYBITESHOMESTEAD]

I appreciate the behind the scenes of the hatchery. 🦋

[@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

[@4KidsandaFarm]

We love Mcmurray hatchery! What a fun day!

[@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…

[@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!

[@mitziburton3999]

Great job on the Murray McMurry hatchery

[@alisonshanahan9529]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@EyeintheSky999]

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

[@zaneymay]

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

[@nemesis9330]

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

[@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!!!!

[@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!

[@rebeccamunoz4596]

[@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.

[@austinfierro7509]

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

[@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!

[@edwardsfamilyfarmstead4225]

[@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.

[@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!!

[@senaloudermilk4662]

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

[@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.

[@Macasmum]

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

[@Gardendreamsforme]

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

[@karstencreekfarm5258]

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

[@rawilson7768]

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

[@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.

[@artlifewitheleaw1221]

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

[@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...

[@mickybearden9641]

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

[@SILSpring]

What a great opportunity to tour McMurray Hatchery

[@frutbum]

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

[@deborahtrout8821]

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

[@camilocamilo5304]

We also get our layers and meat chickens from McMurray. Thanks for taking us along on the tour!

[@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.

[@kayhelton701]

Love tours like this. Thanks

[@tericrosbie2052]

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

[@kennithompson2398]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@thepadillafamilyhomestead]

Thank you for sharing your tour.

[@RoaringRootsNursery]

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

[@tammycornett5631]

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

[@kalijuri]

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

[@AliceKasson]

Thank you! I just ordered more chicks from them. It was amazing to see the process.

[@angelaanderson5360]

That video was awesome. Thank you.

[@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.

[@jimmyr4448]

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

[@sarabarentine8310]

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

[@heatherk8931]

[@pearlmoore7969]

[@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.

[@carolina_ace]

I've had really good luck with mcmurray. Really cool to see how it's done

[@stellajeffrey647]

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

[@trentenanderson4234]

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

[@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!!

[@irmibullinger1421]

Thanks for sharing! I loved seeing the hatchery and the process

[@doricalvillo2055]

I got my layers from McMurrays and they are the best! They picked the best breeds for my elevation and winter weather. All are thriving. Great hatchery. Will get more from them only.

[@mylittleruralhomestead]

This was so much fun to watch and learn about. It was nice to hear and see what Murray McMurray hatchery was all about, thank you so much for sharing. All those sweet baby chicks, they are so cute.🐣🐤🐣🐥

[@oldspringrootsfarm]

That is awesome! We will be getting our chicks this week. Glad I watched this video and now know how everything is done.

[@ServeInLove]

Awesome idea for a video. Thanks for taking us along!

[@OutdoorAdventureswithShawn]

I enjoyed this ! now we know the life history of each chick that come from Mc Murray. Thanks for sharing this !

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

I commend you and your family for how hard you’ll work to have such a big place yet you keep it clean and sterile for the chicken LOL proficient you have learned to make everything so that you’re able to ship the checks out alive and we see them alive. I was very impressed with a variety chicks you have, and I really appreciated being allowed to come into your building to see everything that goes on. A lot of businesses do not sustain themselves for over 115 years or whatever you said it was but you can be proud of yourself as I certainly am. My least favorite things to do on the farm was gathering eggs and cleaning the chicken coop because I had asthma and I could NOT STAND THE SMELL…Now everybody has learned what causes that and how to prevent it and I’m so happy for that because no I could go into the chicken house especially one as nice as yours! Thank you for all your hard work and congratulations to the gentleman that has been with you for 42 years❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ that’s truly amazing loyalty. God bless you and continue doing what you do to keep baby chickens into the hands of the farmers♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ PS I really like the little cream colored ones with the black spots. Can’t say I ever saw those before💕

[@butterlite100]

Awesome! I’ve always wondered what the behind the scenes looked like! Thanks for the this!

[@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.

[@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!!

[@oldcontrypines]

Great tour and so interesting. Thank you!

[@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

[@GForceFitness1]

That was so interesting! Thoroughly enjoyed watching this tour. Thank you!
