Customer Product Reviews
When I ordered my chicks, I made a mistake on the online order form. I didn't realize it until after I had clicked Submit, so I had to call to fix my error (I don't have room for THAT many birds!)The customer service rep was wonderful, joking with me and cheerfully re-doing my order the way I wanted it. Fast forward to Chick Day... I received my chicks on Sunday, the day after they were shipped. All 27 were healthy, active, and all were eating and drinking immediately when I put them into the brooder. They are lovely birds. This is my fourth batch of chicks,my second "litter" of Dorkings.I got some other breeds in this order, too. Dorkings are known for friendliness,but these chicks - all the breeds - are noticeably calmer and friendlier already than any of the others have been. My hope is to let these little goobers raise the next generation, but if I order chicks in the future, I will certainly use McMurray again. In the meantime, I will recommend them to anyone I can.
I got some silver Grey Dorkings and they are the most wonderful birds! They have a very gentle temperment and the females are great mommys to the babys! I would definitly recommend Silver Grey Dorkings! Especially if they are looking for birds who are calm and want the hens to hatch out a few babys for them.Justine Norquist Sandy, OR
