I have been ordering from McMurray Hatchery since I was 13 (now 27) and can attest that I am one SATISFIED customer. The Black Australorps have always done very well and produce large brown eggs and LOTS of them!!! Dont hesitate to order from these folks! They are # 1 in product and customer service!

Thank you for your wonderful service. The babies arrived yesterday, and they are doing great. They are lively, healthy and have settled into their new home nicely. It's going to be so much fun to watch them as they grow.

We wanted chickens for our children. This breed of bird is so gentle, they practically became our children. Easily handled and friendly. We had only 4 hens and I was giving eggs away because we couldn't keep up! They are a beautiful black bird, I would recommend them to anyone, especially a chicken novice!

i think the chickens we get from Murrey McMurrey are of great quality. Aways been satisfied.The Black Austrolopes are gentle, and good layers.Fairly sturdy birds.Thanks alot!

This breed is a good one for young children. The are friendly and quit, great brown egg layers and good mothers. Recommended for small back yard flock.

These birds are #1!

I have been ordering black australorps along with other poultry for over ten years from Murray McMurray When I was younger I showed alot of the poultry that I bought. I named one of my Black roosters Sidney, he won the Grand Champion Pure Bred Large Breed award at the county fair three out of four years. I bred him with some other quality Black hens and supplied the 4-H kids with show birds. Needless to say, I am more than satisfied with the Black Australorps from Murray McMurray.

I Received my Black Australorps on May 7th They have matured very nicely and are now almost fully fethered. Thanks you for the great service I will order more in the years to come. Rick Garner Monson MA.

I ordered 30 - day old chicks. 15 straight run and 15 pullets. All chicks arrived alive and all lived! Out of the 15 straight run I only received 4 roosters! Its been 6 and a half months and they are just starting to lay.I am very happy with the health of the birds I received from Murry McMurry Hatchery!!!

Of the five breeds that we purchased last June, this was the calmest and friendliest (second was the Buff Orpingtons). These girls are queen layers too. I recommend them as all around great birds and my little boys LOVE them.

I have raised many types of chickens and BLACK AUSTRALORPS is probably one of my all time favorites. They are beautiful to watch, easy to raise, and also make great pets. My children always tame one or two of this breed each raising. The hens will actually sit in wagons and wheelbarrows and be wheeled around. What makes the chicken great is that it withstands the interaction with children very well.

I placed an order for 25 chicks in July of '09 and wanted to say that I love my Black Australorp, Lady! She is gentle and very sumbissive, as well as being gorgeous. Everyone who visits admires her soft black feathers that shine green in sunshine. We have eight layers and have been receiving 7-8 eggs daily. My family and I are yet another very satisfied customer of Mcmurray!

The Black Australorps we have kind and gentle. They are bigger birds, and the hens are talkative. I would order these beautiful black birds again

This was our free chick, and it's one of our favorites! We love it! We're just going to keep our fingers crossed it's a girl!

These birds are great. The hens are great layers, and the rooster is beautiful and takes care of his girls well. I am happy to say that one of my hens just hatched out four cute little chicks and is a great mother.

We received our Black Australorps a week ago and they are such little clowns! They're so curious about everything around them and get up to the silliest antics!

I ordered 25 chicks from McMurray, and out of those, 25 Black Australorps were the first to lay. They are Very sweet and curious, and out of all of my chickens they are the best.

Very cute little chicks and nicely mannered. Can't wait for them to grow into adults!

Our family bought a chicken assortment from you guys. One of the breeds were Black Australorps. We received 2 roosters and one hen. Our hen is the best of all our hens because she lays double yolked eggs. Our family is very satisfied with our chickens. Thanks for the wonderful chickens.

The Best birds I have ever had. Smart, friendly and calm
