Pearl White Leghorn
The Pearl White Leghorn is, by far, our best white egg layer. White Leghorn hens lay the most eggs of the highest grade, uniform size and shape, and highest interior quality of any breed we offer. |
Rhode Island Red
The Rhode Island Red is one of the most famous and popular chicken breeds. These truly American chickens are great brown egg layers and one of our best-selling breeds of day-old baby chicks. |

Red Star
The Red Star (also called the ISA Brown) sex link chicken is our Best Brown Egg Layer. These hens will start to lay at approximately 22 weeks, and will lay right through hot or cold weather. |
Black Star
Black Star hens are one of our best brown egg layers. Black Star sex link chickens are easy to raise and have a good feed-conversion ratio. McMurray Hatchery carries two lines of Black Stars. One line is predominantly black with a red chest. The second line is barred with a grey chest. |
