McMurray Hatchery HPAI Statement

[@yLeprechaun]

I'm not at all surprised in the prompt and completely transparent notification by Muray McMurray. We are not large flock owners, but our birds always come from Murray's. Our girls have always been healthy their whole lives, and I credit this with the foundation we recieve by ordering from, what is in my opinion, the finest hatchery anywhere. In fact, I'm so confident in their protocols and processes that my order for this year remains in place.

[@TheBeStLifehomestead]

my chicks from them came in Thursday so far they are doing great.

[@BroadShouldersFarm]

I’m so sorry, guys. My heart is breaking for y’all. You will ALWAYS be my favorite hatchery, no matter what.

[@sarsaparilla2]

So very sorry for your loss. Your faces say it all. Thank you for your professionalism and for prioritizing protecting the rare breeds. Thank you for your clear communication and for telling us how to prevent spread. 💞🙏🏼💞

[@robinsong7298]

I'll be praying for y'all I can hear how much this is emotionally affecting you both. We have confidence that you will do your part to save the rare breeds and historical lines. I can only speak for myself but I will continue to buy from your hatchery's because of the quality of birds and quality of customers service I have personally received. Thanks for all you do

[@mikethomas5541]

Totally agreed

[@cindybull3064]

Prayers up 🙌🏻

[@melissav1416]

So sorry for your loss and know this is hard on families. Your integrity in informing us just reaffirms that we are lifelong customers. We can be patient while you rebuild. Bless your families and flocks.

Thank you for your transparency. And also, your dedication to preserving the "old breeds". It has always been a pleasure to do business with you.

[@Karen-hj3we]

Thank you for your video. We have been customers for at least 15 years. We stand by you!!!!

[@lauralaw2975]

Prayers. I have been ordering for you for over fifty years. Always have been pleased with your poultry/fowl, your customer service and professionalism.

[@christopherlongoria3360]

Thank you for being one of the most responsible chicken farms out there.

[@nancyseery2213]

Thank you for all that you do for the farmers of the USA. Sorry that you are going through these hard time and I know you are going to and will always do what is best for your customers. Keep up the good job and hope all goes well with you and your employees.

[@Mulberrysmile]

Please remember that you have contacts for your prior customers. I have no doubt that some people would be willing to donate hatching eggs or breeding birds to save rare and heritage breeds when the bird flu has passed. Thank you for running an ethical business and doing the right thing, even when it is the hard thing to do!

[@JS-mh1fh]

So sorry to hear about this. Although I'd placed no order from you this year, I have ordered chickens and ducks in the past - and McMurray has always been the only hatchery I would trust - and this video demonstrates why. Wishing you the best in saving the heritage breed genetic line, that all your customers are patient and understanding, and will take their own precautions for existing flocks. Best wishes to you all there and have faith that your business will come out stronger after this is over.

[@rochellehardie]

I am so sorry. I hope that you are able to continue these old and rare lines. God help you at this time.

[@hondajanak]

I’m so sorry. Thank you for all you do to secure your flocks and protect precious lines of birds.

[@kathleenwilliamson174]

I have ordered from your hatchery for several years and will continue to do so. You are quality in all aspects. Over half my order was affected, but I am more concerned with your company and birds. I can always order next year. I can only imagine how hard this is for you, it is so much more than we see. Thank you so very much.

[@diggun]

So sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue. Your hatchery is one of the best!!

[@peggys9005]

Thank you for the update. I am a new customer this year and my 2 week old chicks are doing well. We will be ordering more again soon. Blessings.

Thank you for the updated and all you do at your company! You are greatly appreciated! We have always loved your birds and the healthy beautiful quality there are! We will continue to support you and your company for your high standards and great customer service!

Your company was super prompt notifying us, giving us options, and still getting our babies to us yesterday. The birds we received were healthy and are doing great this morning. Prayers lifted for you.

[@cindygreen6900]

[@karenvastarelli1789]

So sorry for your loss. So thankful for your integrity and your concern for your birds and your customers. An amazing family and an amazing business.

[@ambilaevus7607]

Murray McMurray was the first thing I thought of when I heard this wave of flu would be bad. God bless you guys for saving genetic lines. Your birds not only won me many trophy's as a kid but also great joy. One of the free exotic chicks I had trained like a parrot and he sat on my shoulder not only during chores but at chicken shows. He got awarded best behaved bird once even. No one ever did figure out what he was. Your efforts to keep the lines going for future generations will be in my thoughts and prayers .

[@happyjoyousfarmmiddletenne8780]

So sorry to hear of this loss for your people, and for aviculturists across the nation who will miss out on your stellar heritage breeds this year. I hope everyone is patient, because you are worth it. You WILL be back on top. I pray you are able to reserve quality breeders from your eggs. - Sam at Happy Joyous Farm Pikeville, TN

[@hilltopgardenstn]

Thank you guys for being on top of this issue. It is so sad that so many of your birds were lost. I pray that those in the incubators hatch and you can establish your breeder flocks again.

[@tomikaiser593]

So sorry to hear this. Love working with you guys. Prayers that it clears quickly with minimal impact to your flocks!

[@stary_traveler]

I'm so so sorry you are affected amd for the losses of your precious breeders. Thank you for all your time and effort in informing us and the mess of working to rebuild those lines and work with your customers

[@atlantapage1153]

I'm praying about this and I know God will help and I thank you for putting this video out. I haven't bought any firsthand but it is still very good how you explained this. It is reassuring to know birds sold in stores are safe to purchase that came from your hatchery. God Bless!

[@h.s.6269]

I hope they worked with you to ensure you were able to fully secure breeds and lines before having to kill them all. I absolutely hate the protocols they are forcing even for completely separated flocks if on the same property. I wish for your company and your family to have a swift recovery from all this. I know there will be a lot of delays as you now need to raise them from eggs back up to breeding age. I truly wish you all the best! From the comment section it sounds like you have a huge loyal customer base since you've been such a great service nationwide for so many years. Thanks so fucking much for being forthcoming about what's going on instead of being vague and shady, dealing individually exclusively without addressing the wider customer base. Too many companies have lost their integrity, but that's why I think you will still have such a large support system once you are prepared to continue after the birds grow to breeding age. So many loyal customers just waiting for you to be on your feet again. Much love and respect to yall!

I'm so sorry for your farm and all the other poultry business and employees that are being effected by this. Marilyn

If the PCR test is still being used, please have a different type of test done by an independent lab before you destroy birds. Please!

[@francescapoteet5481]

I wonder if there is an option when the powers that be get involved- as they obviously do in times like these.

[@h.s.6269]

@@francescapoteet5481 that's my fear as well. Once involved you lose all say in how its handled or even confirmed that its legitimate. Media and govt wants to fear monger, I doubt they want to do multiple styles of tests to confirm before destroying so many birds... they just want to inflate egg and meat prices beyond belief as they scare everyone into compliance.

[@TheChefLady4JC]

After what we've been witnessing with the ineffectiveness of the PCR test with the PLANdemic of COVID these past two years, running cycles way past finding any live viruses, and reaching to find dead viruses at the 40+ cycles, I personally don't trust ANYTHING our government agencies tell us anymore. After hearing what the World Economic Forum's Klaus Schwab as well as Bill Gates, et al, tell us how they envision and plan to execute these diabolical globalists plans to depopulate the earth down to manageable levels of only 500,000,000 people through drought, flooding, disease, and famine, I don't put it past these evildoers to plant these "viruses" as bioweapons in order to further their goal.

I know that won't solve everything, much less replace all of the birds and the dedication and work you have put into them, but I hope that others do the same. Supporting high-quality breeders and family businesses is critical, and we all need to stick together in good times and in bad.
