Customer Product Reviews
Love my three Ladies! Red Stars are awesome. They arrived 2 1/12 weeks ago and today we have our first egg. Friendly, quiet, and treat-obsessed!
I'd raised chicks before...these 4 pullets were ever so much better for me. No loss, no hassle, and 4 eggs almost every day, year round for 18 months with no additional winter light. There were a few days during that time I only got three eggs, maybe once a month. Now winter's come again and they slowed down, but I can count on at least two a day.
I received my 20 pullets Aug. 26. Very healthy, alert, very nice girls. Two weeks later, I was amazed at the eggs, much sooner than I thought. I free range my chickens. They are so friendly. When they hear the back door open, they come running to me. So cute. Thank you.
I received my 4 Reds on June 17th. They arrived in beautiful, healthy condition. Three weeks later 3 of them are laying! What a delight these little girls are. As a first-time chicken owner, I read all of the reviews on breeds and chose the Reds because of their smaller size, consistent production of large eggs and easy temperament. So far they have exceeded all of my expectations! I never thought I would fall in love with them like I have. They are the sweetest things and so friendly, calm and very, very quiet, even when my dogs are laying next to the tractor salivating. They talk and sing to me, let me hold them and quietly "cry" when I leave them. Sweet! I would HIGHLY suggest the Red Stars to anyone looking for great layers and great pets.
After raising several batches of day old chicks, which is very labor intensive, these started pullets are the way to go! They arrived at our local PO, in good order. Within a week all four lovely girls were laying and continue to lay almost daily. I was amazed at how quiet they are and so curious; tame to the point where they fly onto my lap if I am sitting with them in the run. I appreciate how well they get along also, something my home raised flocks never did. Would definitely order McMurray started pullets again!
We got two lovely started red pullets when we ordered our Eglu Cube in the Spring of 2009. The girls (Rosa and Amelia) started laying very soon thereafter and are still going strong a year and a half later. Rosa lays jumbo eggs, and Amelia's are extra large. They have the sweetest dispositions - perhaps most important for a little urban flock. Love the coop and love the hens.
I never raised chicken before, but last April my sister and I got eight red started pullets from McMurray hatchery. The ladies started to lay eggs in about a month and have not stopped. Eight ladies eight eggs, and everyone says they taste better that any eggs they have eaten before. and this is from someone who never raise chicken before. Mother Hen
I bought 2 Started Red Star Pullets. They started laying almost right away and haven't missed a day in 6 months. One lays the biggest eggs we've ever seen. 3oz.+!! The other lays an extra large every day.
THE PULLETS I HAVE GOTTEN FROM MCMURRAY HATCHERY HAVE BEEN A DREAM. 1 EGG A DAY EACH AND TASTE GREAT , THANKS
I bought assorted Bantam hatching eggs for my 3-egg incubator. My 6 daughters and myself are delighted to announce the 3 newest members to our family!!! The eggs arrived perfectly packaged and we are very happy with the incubation outcome. Thanks!! We will order from you again!
