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
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 !!!
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.
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...
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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...
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.
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!!
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!
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.
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!!
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.🐣🐤🐣🐥
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.
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.
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?) 👍😃🐣
Great video. I tried Mcmurray Hatchery and had great strong chicks. They were all healthy and grew to adults. When I tried other hatcheries I would end up with a few dead chicks, or later on chicks would die while growing up. They just weren't as strong I guess. Went back to only ordering from Mcmurray after that.
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.
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💕

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

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

Awesome tour! Since we moved we’ll be sourcing our broilers (5,000+ yearly) and our layer flock (200) from them ☺️ 🐓
Thank you and the folks at McMurray for letting you share a behind the curtain .
Very nice to see the whole process. Thank you
You folks are awesome! You got this and can’t wait to see your progress.
Love how the kids got to help out, beautiful memory for them ❤.
Thank You for the great tour and thank you Mcmurray and co. for letting Jason in to do this. Great video .

When I was growing up my family always ordered from Murray McMurray every spring 😄 so many happy memories!
Thank you!!!! What an awesome tour, I've always wandered how it all worked lol
Love from New Zealand

wow that's so cool. Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for watching!
I love this company. Our family has been buying from them for over 70 years, several generation of us. Great chicks and great service!!!!
I loved this tour of McMurray Hatchery. I love “factory” tours so you can learn how things are made or processed.
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.
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!!
Hi, Jason and Lorraine! Thanks so much for this interesting video.
So many babies. Thanks for my fluffy fix. I get excited when i hatch 12. The numbers are overwhelming.
Lol, placed my order in January and can’t be delivered until July….. They’re very popular and busy!
I loved the tour and to see all the chicks, FuzzyMuggins included! Nice! Field trips are still educational at my age!!🥰🥳
That was very cool to see. Thanks for taking us along.
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!
Holy cow! What an incredible tour! Wow. I’m blown away at the volume the hatchery works with on a daily basis; simply incredible.
That was really interesting, thanks! Can't wait to see how your new homestead comes along! Blessings!!
They are the best no question...I have done research on McMurray and the business. Hight quality. They ROCK
I'll order all my bird breeds chickens ducks turkeys geese . This Spring

I really enjoyed this I first ordered from mc Murray's way back 1985
Thank you for sharing this--I enjoyed it so much. I've always wanted to see inside a hatchery!🥰
Beautiful facility. Bought mine from them, super fast delivery. I love what they did with their website.
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!!
I ordered chicken from Murray for about 25years never had a problem wish I had some now great hatchery 👍😃
Wonderful tour & vlog; thanks for sharing & taking us along! Blessings to your family 🤗❤️🇨🇦
The only company I have ever ordered from. They are a amazing family and do a amazing job!
I love to see their process for hatching, sorting and preparing them for shipping. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your tour.
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.🐣🐤🐣🐥
Got my Turkeys from you this year. I am very pleased and my baby's are growing fast!
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.
What an amazing hatchery, love it. How do they recycle all the egg shells? ❤️
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.
Good evening everyone 👋🏻 all of those chicks look lovely. Good vlog 😊
great video so interesting.Very honored that we were able to tour a hatchery as they do not allow tours.
That video was awesome. Thank you.
Great tour and so interesting. Thank you!
This is really cool to see! Thanks for the video!
I can only IMAGINE how LOUD that room is
Awesome! I’ve always wondered what the behind the scenes looked like! Thanks for the this!
Love tours like this. Thanks
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?) 👍😃🐣
I Love seeing this Process....Murray McMurray is really Responsible....Love Them!
When we lived in Webster City McMurray Hatchery always sponsored our city league girls softball team. Great company!
Great video. I tried Mcmurray Hatchery and had great strong chicks. They were all healthy and grew to adults. When I tried other hatcheries I would end up with a few dead chicks, or later on chicks would die while growing up. They just weren't as strong I guess.

This chicken farm is so clean
It's a family business that's great 👍🇵🇬
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.
Ordered 9 chicks from there, shipping out in a couple weeks! Very excited!
How interesting, I had no idea all that they do by hand. They're an amazing company!!!
Well run biz! Amazing to watch the process. Our next batch will be from you.
wow that is a huge operation! Thanks for the tour!
