Here’s a chance to get some fast growing chicks that will make delicious, broad breasted, chicken to be prepared by your favorite method of cooking. Mouth watering flavor, mostly white meat, golden yellow skin, easy to dress white plumage. Our choice of breeds but all of these chicks will be Cornish X Rocks and/or Cornish Roasters. These will make dandy broilers or fryers for the summer family picnic and put some in your home freezer to enjoy them the year round. If you want to let them grow they will make beautiful tender roasting chickens.Please Note: Cornish Roaster, Cornish Game Hens, and Jumbo Cornish X Rocks are hybrids. Therefore we do not recommend breeding, they will not produce the same high quality in the next generation and due to the extreme rate of growth they will be too large at time of sexual maturity to breed successfully.
As a reminder, to help ensure a safe arrival to you, the minimum number of chicks for each order prior to April 1st is 25.
On and after April 1st, the minimum number of chicks required is 15. You can mix and match any type of baby chick in your order to reach the applicable chick minimum order. If ordering any bantams, we require a minimum of 15 bantams per order.

Customer Product Reviews
We ordered 75 of the BBQ special last season for our first attempt at meat birds. We couldn't be happier. This is by far the best chicken we have ever eaten and it's great to know what your feeding your family. All of our birds were healthy and happy and at less than $2 a pound for a chicken dinner you cant go wrong with McMurray!
Ordered these birds in over 100 degree weather, all came healthy, butchered the largest 5 at exactly 8 weeks, all were over 10 lbs! Waited another 2 weeks to butcher another 15 only two were under 10 lbs, 10 weighed out, plucked, eviscerated, everything at about 15 pounds or more! Great tasting, but don't give them much room to move or they will get tough. Great buy, I would recommend trying these. Also, none of these birds died of natural causes, or had leg problems.
No health problems what so ever. I barbecued our first one last night. Best chicken I've ever had.
First time we ordered was 25,then 30,this time 50.We can hardly get enough to last a season.They look fat at maturity but they are very meaty.It is best to have a pen devoted for them cause the other chickens will bully them.
I got my chicks in 98 degree weather. All were well & drank lots of water . Thay eat like pigs . I can't wait to harvest them .
Received the chicks and they were very healthy and ready for their new home. They are one week old since I have received and you can tell how much they have grown so far. They are constantly eating and it is an enjoyment to watch them grow. The customer service McMurray Hatchery has is beyond what I expected when you call them for anything.
Thanks again for great product and great customer service.
I was a little skeptical about ordering chickens online, but on Sunday morning after church the post office called and said "Your chicks have arrived". With excitement my son, daughter, and I raced to the post office to find a box full of joy. Everyone was wide awake and ready to settle into their new home. Even the extra chick was ready to leave the box. They are a lively bunch and I couldn't be more happier. Will purchase again soon.
Could not have been more pleased! 26 Chicks arrived on time and in perfect condition! All grew to be healthy, vibrant, great looking birds. They dressed out between 8-9 pounds at 10 weeks. No leg problems, no losses, nice active birds. Will be ordering again! Thanks!
Chicks arrived today in 95 degree heat! All are well, drank, and are eating hearty! Still another happy affair!
After they got to 8 weeks I butchered them, and between weight and eating quality I couldn't be happier with the outcome. It's been a long time since I had chicken that tasted like, well, chicken! Thanks again, McMurray Hatchery.
Got the chicks in fine condition. They are three weeks old now and are huge! This is my first order with McMurray and am completly satisfied with it. Thank You.
These meat birds have well surpassed our expectations. We let them grow a little extra large and the amount of meat is comparable to a young turkey! McMurray provided excellent customer support for us and we will surely buy these meat birds again.
Hi just wanted to say these BBQ birds are great! We purchased a order of them this spring and they did great, when we processed them they could hardly fit into a one gallon freezer bag. Thanks for some top notch birds!
Never written a review before but I must say that your service to myself and family have always been fair, fast and courtious . Birds always arrived in good condition and the postmaster always called me "EXTRA" early to come get them because they were driving him nutty! Been purchasing for 5 Yrs. now and never been dissapointed !
I just want to thank you for all your help with our order. We had some difficulties due to shipping stress but you proved that excellent customer service can still be found. We just butchered the rest of our meat birds and they were huge and problem free. Thanks again.
