dear Friends,
2014 was another wonderful season for all of us at murray mcmurray Hatchery. thank you to every one of you who
helped us spread the excitement and rewards of chicken ownership! We hope you enjoy the many new products added
to this years catalog as we strive to offer you a comprehensive source for all of your chicken needs. While newly
hatched chicks continues to be the bulk of our business, we have been happy to offer 4-week and 16 week old chickens
to our line-up. these two additional options are a wonderful fit for those who want a jump start on raising chickens!
over the past two or three years, we have taken our famous murray mcmurray Hatchery chickens across the country to
various trade shows. It has been a wonderful opportunity for us to meet our long time customers face to face. We are
continually humbled by the role our chickens are playing in the lives of so many people. our customers often tell us
wonderful stories of ordering chicks with their grandparents and now experiencing that same tradition with their
grandchildren. our hearts are overcome with joy as we hear of our chickens helping children with learning disabilities
or re-energizing senior citizens with fond memories of their youth. many farms and small businesses have started with
the sale of fresh eggs from our happy chickens. We love helping new chicken owners as they take a serious look at
their reliabilities and embrace chicken ownership as a means to feed their families with healthy, fresh backyard eggs.
We cant wait to meet you and hear your story at our next event!
We continue to invest countless time and energy into the www.mcmurrayhatchery.com website to make your buying
experience the best it can be. this past year or so we have introduced real-time chat capabilities, a text messaging
service for your questions, an on-line chicken selector tool, added Pinterest to our social media involvement, offered
Paypal as a payment option and have most recently created an on-line Wish list that you can create from your account.
All of this, of course, is in addition to our (800) 456-3280 number you can call and talk to one of our knowledgeable
customer service representatives. If anything in the following pages of this catalog is unclear, please do not hesitate to
call us - we cant wait to hear from you!
Here is to a fruitful 2015 - may it be the best year yet for you!
All our best,
murray mcmurray Hatchery

From a few murray mcmurray Hatchery chickens

What do I do now?
The Care of Baby Chicks, Turkeys, Ducks, Geese, Guineas, Pheasants, and Partridge
Friends We have added the information below to help you get your baby poultry started correctly and to eliminate any potential problems that might arise. Please
read this information carefully and be prepared when your baby poultry arrive.

Poultry Need: Feed, Water, Heat, Light & Space

Special Situations After TheChicks Arrive

Feed: Use a commercial chick starter for the first 8 weeks. On the first day cover
the litter with newspaper and spread some feed on the papers and have your
feeders full also. This will allow the new birds to find the feed. Use a 2 foot feeder
for each 25 chicks. After the first day remove the papers from the starting area.
Please refer to the next page for feed protein levels for the type of poultry you
areordering.

If the birds had a hard trip: Instead of using the standard feed and water
suggestions listed, try this: Put 6 more tablespoons of sugar in each gallon of
water. Then mix some of this extra sweet water with some of your feed to make a
soupy mix. Give your birds this special feed and water mix for 3 to 4 days to get
them over the effects of shipping.

Water: Have a 1 gallon chick waterer for each 50 birds. DIP THE BEAK OF THE
CHICK IN THE WATER BEFORE YOU TURN IT LOOSE. For the first 2 days add 3
tablespoons of table sugar to each quart of water for extra energy. For best results,
have either Quik Chik or Broiler Booster in the water. Your birds will be thirsty
when you get them. A taste of water right away helps them to find more water
soon. Most baby bird loss is caused because the bird doesnt start to eat or drink.
Never let your birds run out of water.
Heat: The temperature where the birds are should be 90 to 95 degrees for the first
week. Reduce the temperature 5 degrees per week until you get to 70 degrees.
Then they shouldnt need any more heat.
A good source of heat is a 250 watt heat bulb. (Red bulbs are preferred, white may
cause picking.) Hang it 18 inches from the floor. The temperature directly under the
bulb will be higher than 90 degrees but the birds will adjust themselves to the area
they like. Use 1 bulb for each 50 chicks in cold weather. Use 1 bulb for each 100
chicks in warm weather.
Light: If you use a heat bulb, this will also serve as the light you need. Otherwise,
be sure to give your birds light. Use a 75 watt bulb on dark days. Have a small light
for night 15 watts or similar to keep them from piling.
Space: Try to provide 1/2 square foot per bird at the start. For starting 50 chicks
use a draft shield (see below) and make a circle about 5 to 6 feet across. For 100
birds, make the circle 7 to 8 feet across.
Starter Kit (pictured right.) This is a very simple and
complete method for starting your poultry. Please make
sure your birds have all of the necessities to assure them
of a good start and healthy life.

Other Important Matters


Draft Shield: Cardboard put in a circle about 12 inches high around the birds
helps cut down drafts on the floor. Be sure the circle is large enough to allow the
birds to get away from the heat if they want to.
Litter: Wood shavings, rice hulls, or ground cobs make good litter. Do not use
cedar chips, sawdust (It is too small and the birds may eat it instead of their food),
or treated wood chips. Sand, straw, or dirt will also work but are not as good as
the others. Put the litter all over the floor at least 1 inch thick. Keep it covered for
the first day with newspapers to keep the chicks from eating the litter instead of
the feed. To avoid possible leg problems, remove the papers after the first day for
heavy breeds and meat birds and after the third day for lighter breeds.
Grit: Starting the 3rd day sprinkle baby grit on the feed daily as if you were salting
your food. Avoid putting too much at any one time as the birds may fill up on it
instead of the feed.
Picking: Baby birds will often pick each other if they are too hot, too crowded, or
without fresh air. Occasionally, bright light also causes them to pick. An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure when it comes to picking. Sometimes,
however, they pick for no apparent reason. To stop it, try putting in fresh green
grass clippings several times a day and darken the room. As a last resort,
debeaking might have to be done. Try cutting off about one-third of the top beak.
Do not cut the lower beak, just the top one.
To treat birds that have been picked, use an anti pick product or smear black
grease on the area injured and keep up the treatment until healed.

Rear end pasting up: Sometimes the stress of shipping causes the manure to
stick to the back of the bird. It is important to remove this daily. Pull off gently, or
better yet, wash off with a cloth and warm water. It will disappear in a few days as
the bird starts to grow.
Cornish X Rocks and Barbecue: Try starting these groups on broiler starter. (The
higher protein seems to help them avoid leg problems.) We would also recommend
at about 12 days of age you will need to start limit feeding. Fill the feeders each
day and let the feed run out in the late afternoon. Research has shown these birds
will grow just a fraction slower but have considerably less problems by not feeding
them continuously. Also add extra amount of vitamins from the start. We
recommend either Quik Chik or Broiler Booster in the water from start to finish.
Although management, environment, and feed quality will affect the growth rates;
Cornish Game Hens should be ready to butcher by 4 weeks of age. Cornish X Rock
Cockerels should have a dressed weight of 3 to 4 pounds in 6 to 8 weeks of age.
Pullets and Cornish Roasters will take 1 to 2 weeks longer. Under good conditions
birds will gain to 1 pound per week after 6 to 7 weeks. If you let these birds
continue to grow they can experience leg and heart problem.

After Four Weeks:


1. Increase floor area to 3/4 square feet per bird.
2. Increase feeders to provide 2-1/2 to 3 of space per bird.
3. Increase waterers to one 5-gallon fount per 100 birds.
4. Make sure grit hopper is filled with proper sized grit. Check with your feed man.
5. Install roosts at back of brooder area. Allow four inches per bird with roost poles
six inches apart.
6. Open windows in daytime. Leave only partly open at night.
7. Prevent water puddles around founts. Place founts on low wire platforms.
8. Birds can range outside on warm, sunny days, but only if clean range is available.

Care Of Ducks & Geese


Feed: You must feed them starter crumbles up to four weeks of age. Grower
pellets are preferred from that point on. Layer pellets can be introduced gradually
at their first egg. Mash should not be fed at any time unless it is moistened at
every feeding and then spoilage is probable. Whole and cracked grains can be used
to supplement the pellets at maturity. Green grass and vegetable trimmings can be
given at any time.
Water: Ducklings should have access to drinking water at all times but not enough
for them to walk or swim in. Since they have been hatched in an incubator, they do
not have their mothers protective oil on their down, therefore they can be easily
chilled if allowed to be in water. Access to swimming water can be given at full
feathering (approximately two months of age.)
Heat: The first week they need access to areas heated to 90. This can be reduced
5 per week. For small numbers, a heat lamp suspended 1-1/2 above the bedding
is fine. Heating may take daily adjustments. If they are huddled or climbing on one
another, increase the temperature. If they move away from their heat source,
reduce the temperature. Protect them from all drafts.
Health: Keep the bedding as dry as possible (wood shavings are the best). Do not
use cedar chips, sawdust, or treated wood chips for bedding. Once your ducklings
or goslings are one month old allow them room to exercise and play outdoors
during the day if possible. Also protect them from dogs, cats and other predators.
You should have few health problems if you follow all the above instructions. If you
do have any problems, try adding Terramycin to their diet.

Getting started
Why Order Our Poultry?
Did you know that chicks, just before they hatch, draw into their abdomen the yolk of the egg? Rich in food value and liquid, the yolk provides the newly-hatched chick
with all it needs to eat and drink for over 3 days. That is why we can hatch chicks here, ship them to you, and know that they will be well provided for by Mother
Nature along the way!

Why Order our Poultry?


Quality & Satisfaction: The backbone of our business is based on Customer
Satisfaction & Quality. Without either, our company would have been gone years
ago. We are the oldest and largest Rare Breed Hatchery in the United States and
since 1917 we have been supplying top quality poultry and related products
nationwide. We participate in the NATIONAL POULTRY IMPROVEMENT PLAN of
the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. We have the classification: U.S. APPROVED:
PULLORUM-TYPHOID CLEAN, and we operate under the inspection and control of
the Iowa Dept. of Agriculture. These regulatory agencies assure you of the highest
standards in breeding stock, hatchery operation, and disease control. YOUR TOTAL
SATISFACTION WITH OUR COMPANY AND OUR PRODUCTS IS OUR NUMBER
ONE CONCERN.
You Can Order Just One of a Kind: Many of you may want to raise only a few
chicks of any one variety and we are always glad to make up special orders for
you, just so the total comes to the minimum number required for each type of
poultry we sell. To avoid disappointment and to get a good sample of a variety it
is really best to buy 5 or 10 of each variety. Here are the minimums for each
type of poultry:
Chickens...25 After 4/1....15 Guineas........................... 30 Peafowl............................. 8
Ducks................................ 2 Partridge.......................... 35 Turkeys............................. 15
Geese................................ 2 Pheasants....................... 30 Quail.............................. 100

Extra Chicks for Warmth: We do a number of things to assure that your birds
arrive healthy and happy. We use a specially designed chick shipping box, adjust
ventilation holes, and time our shipping to have access to the most airline flights
to name a few. Adding extra males (free of charge) for warmth is also another
option for us. If you do not want us to add extra chicks, please order in multiples
of the minimums listed above, and let us know you do not want extra chicks when
you are ordering.
Choice of Females, Males, or Straight Run: No other hatchery in the world
allows you to choose so many different varieties of chickens by sex. Order
FEMALES (pullets), MALES (cockerels), or STRAIGHT RUN (as hatched, we cannot
guarantee an equal number of males and females). We have professional sexers
that come to the hatchery on hatch day, sex the birds, and we guarantee their
work. It is indicated in the catalog how each breed is sold.

Substitutions: Occasionally we will have breeds which did not hatch as well as
expected. When this happens, we would like to substitute extra chicks of equal or
greater value of breeds similar to what you had ordered. If you indicate no
substitutions, we will either delay your order or ship it short those birds and
refund you. We have discovered that our customers usually prefer to have the
original total number of chicks they ordered rather than a refund. If you phone in
your order we will ask you about substitutions. If you mail your order, please
indicate your substitution preference on the order blank.

How are Poultry Orders Shipped?


Within a few hours of hatching your order will be on its way. All orders will be
shipped Priority Mail through the US Post Office; most go by air. Your order should
reach your Post Office within 48 hours, but do not worry if it takes a little longer.
Prior to hatching, chicks draw in the yolk sac which provides them with food and
water for 3 days or longer. Your order will be sent to your Post Office for pick up.
If you prefer delivery to another location, please call our sales department to
inquire about other arrangements. Many people ask us if they can pick up their
order at a nearby airport. Sorry, that is not possible. Be sure to give us your phone
number so your Post Office can call you when your order arrives.

Youth Poultry Projects


4-H, FFA, Junior Poultry Clubs: We receive many, many letters and orders from
boys and girls and their families in regard to 4-H, FFA, and Junior Poultry Club
Projects. Our supply of different varieties offers an ideal source for such projects
where there are several different children in the same family, or different members
in a club group and each boy or girl wants to raise something that he can tell
apart from the others. Also its nice if you 4-H kids can tell your chicks from Dads
and Moms. Its more fun that way. And, Dad and Mom, boys and girls work at
something a lot better if they can have some fun as part of it. Plan to enter your
birds in the Poultry Show. The work of raising the chicks, preparing them for
exhibition, and the thrill of winning in competition bring an interest in poultry that
will carry into later years.
Free Bulletin: A lot of boys and girls would like to enter birds in a poultry show.
To give you a few pointers we have prepared this bulletin. You will find some
helpful information here. When you send in your order for chicks, just ask for your
free copy of How To Prepare Your Birds for Exhibition.

BiosecURitY
BIoSeCurIty at Murray MCMurray hatChery
McMurray Hatchery is concerned about all poultry diseases not only Avian Influenza Here at the hatchery we have very stringent Biosecurity procedures, vaccination
program, and testing to insure you receive healthy chicks You can help by reading and following Biosecurity guidelines recommended by the United State Department
of Agriculture below

Tips to Prevent
Poultry Disease

3. dont haul disease home.


Car and truck tires, poultry cages, and equipment can all harbor germs If you
travel to a location where other birds are present, or even to the feed store, be
sure to clean and disinfect these items before you return to your property

1. keep Your distance.


Restrict access to your property and your birds
Consider fencing off the area where your birds are to
form a barrier between clean and dirty areas
The clean area is the immediate area surrounding
your birds, and the dirty or buffer area must be
considered to be infected with germs, even if the
birds appear healthy and disease free

Taking some of your birds to a fair or exhibition? Keep those birds separated from
the rest of your flock and watch them for at least 2 weeks after the event to
ensure that they didnt pick up a disease
New birds should be kept separate from your flock for at least 30 days before
putting them with the rest of your birds To prevent disease, it is best not to mix
young and old birds or birds from different species or different sources

Allow only people who take care of your birds to come into contact with them
Your caretakers should not attend bird shows or other events where birds are
present If visitors to your property want to see your birds, be sure they wash up
first and clean their shoes Better yet, keep clean boots for visitors to wear If your
visitors have birds of their own, do not let them near your birds at all
Game birds and migratory waterfowl should not have contact with your flock
because they can carry germs and diseases If your birds are outdoors, try to keep
them in a screened area
2. keep it Clean.
You wouldnt think of tracking dirt and disease into your house, where it could
infect your family Dont do that to your birds either! Germs can be picked up on
shoes and clothing and moved from one area to another To keep your birds
germ-free, keep a pair of shoes and a set of clothes to wear only around your
birds Many people keep these clean clothes in a covered pail at the entrance to
their bird area Or, clean and disinfect your shoes and launder your clothes before
you check on or work with your birds
Scrubbing your shoes with a long-handled scrub brush and disinfectant will
remove droppings, mud, or debris Clothes should be washed in a washing
machine with laundry detergent
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap, water, and a disinfectant before entering
your bird area
Keep cages, food, and water clean on a daily basis Clean and disinfect equipment
that comes in contact with your birds or their droppings That includes tools such
as feed scoops, shovels, rakes, and brooms All manure must be removed before
disinfectant can work, so clean surfaces with soap and water first Properly
dispose of dead birds by burial or incineration or take them to a landfill Check on
local ordinances for acceptable disposal methods

Comb Styles

Single Comb

Rose Comb

Pea Comb

Spiked Rose Comb

Buttercup Comb

4. dont Borrow disease


From Your neighbor.
Do not share birds, lawn and
garden equipment, tools, or
poultry supplies with your
neighbors or other bird
owners If you do bring these
items home, clean and
disinfect them before they
reach your property And
remember to clean and
disinfect borrowed items
before returning them
Never share items such as
wooden pallets or
cardboard egg cartons
because they are porous
and cannot be adequately
cleaned and disinfected
5. know the Warning Signs of infectious Bird diseases.
Many bird diseases can be difficult to diagnose The list below includes some of
the things to look for that signal something might be wrong with your birds Early
detection of signs is very important to prevent the spread of disease
Sudden death
Diarrhea
Decreased or complete loss of egg production; soft-shelled, misshapen eggs
Sneezing, gasping for air, nasal discharge, coughing
Lack of energy and appetite
Swelling of tissues around eyes and in neck
Purple discoloration of the wattles, combs, and legs
Depression, muscular tremors, drooping wings, twisting of head and neck,
incoordination, complete paralysis
important Facts about avian influenza (the Bird Flu): H5N1 highly
pathogenic avian influenza (also known as bird flu) is not in the United Sates
and never has been Avian Influenza is not passed from the hen to the embryo in
the egg A baby chick hatching from an egg does not carry the disease You can
NOT get avian influenza from properly handled and cooked food Microorganisms
of all kinds are destroyed when the product reaches an internal temperature of 160
degrees Fahrenheit

M C MURRAY NEWS
Have you heard
about Chicks4Children?
When we were contacted by the folks from Global Family Philanthropy about
their Not for Profit initiative, Chicks 4 Children, we were ecstatic to help them.
As we learned about their goal to work with communities to end hunger and
poverty by enabling chicken coop recipients to become self-sufficient, we could
easily see how we, as a company, along with our customers, would have a
natural inclination to help through our mutual interests.
We have heard so many stories over the years of what our chicks can do for
families and individuals. Whether therapy or entertainment, financial rewards or
simple pleasures, we understand chickens offer so much more than most think

Cochin Bantams

(Shipped April - Oct)

class: Feather Legged Bantams

Soldiers returning from China brought the first Cochin bantams to England in the 1860s. Cochins are heavily feathered
down the shanks and toes and appear to be much larger than they actually are. They are very gentle, excellent setters,
require little space, and with their many color varieties are absolutely beautiful to look at. Cochins are the most popular of
the feather legged bantams and one of our best sellers.

Mottled Cochin

Golden Laced Cochin

A lustrous,
greenish-black
base color with
many of the
feathers tipped in white. A color
contrast that really makes it stand
out in a flock.

Each feather is
rich, golden-bay
laced with
lustrous
greenish-black, creating a broad
oval with a golden-bay center.
Extremely eye catching.

Barred Cochin

Partridge Cochin

Accepted into the


shows in 1965
the Barred
Cochin is somewhat of a
newcomer. To many people the
barred variety is extremely
pleasant to look at with its defined
parallel bars of alternate dark and
light colors throughout the length
of each feather.

The males saddle


and hackle
feathers are a
rich, brilliant
orange-red which when combined
with the greenish-black body
makes for an extremely attractive
bird. The female is feathered with
a glossy mahogany brown feather
penciled inblack.

deep lustrous red. The males head,
neck, back, and saddle appear a
very rich red in color.

A very popular variety


that has a very soft
golden buff color
throughout. One of the
oldest and most established varieties
of cochins.

Blue Cochin
The true blue color
is perhaps one

breed for in the
poultry world. We have a nice blue
that will vary from a bluish-white
to abeautiful black laced dark

What are bantams?


Called the flower garden of the poultry world,
Bantams are miniature chickens, usually one-fourth
to one-fifth the size of standard varieties. Because
of their many different types and assortments of
color patterns, raising bantams is rapidly
becoming one of todays most popular
hobbies. Little is known of the origin of
bantams although they are believed to
have come from the Orient.
Standard - Bantam

BANTAMS
Frizzle Cochins

(Shipped April - Oct)

Now this is truly a unique bird! Unlike all other chickens, the feathers on the frizzle curve outward and forward giving it the appearance of having walked through a
windstorm backwards. These come in red, black, and white colors and show the other characteristics of the cochin. PLEASE NOTE: The frizzle feathering of these unique
birds does not show as baby chicks. Because the frizzle trait does not breed true, approximately one fourth of your baby frizzle chicks will develop normal feathering
and the others will be frizzled. Limited Supply.

Belgian Bearded dUccle

(Shipped April - Oct)

class: Feather Legged Bantams

These beautiful birds came to Europe from Japan in the 17th century and are contained in the paintings of many early Dutch
artists. We have both the bearded and non-bearded varieties. Each feather on these bantams is tipped in white, and the
presence of vulture hocks, heavy leg feathering, and a wide-set tail make them unique and unsurpassed.

Mille Fleur

Porcelain

This variety,
in many folks
opinion, is the
most fascinating of
all bantams. They have many unusual
characteristics and their reddish-bay
feathers that are tipped in white really
make them stand out. Their color will
get better with age and they are very
nice birds.

The Porcelain has


all of the same
characteristics of
the Mille Fleur
except that the base color is
apale blue rather than red.
Allfeathers are tipped in white,
making it one of the prettiest
chicks at the hatchery.

Buff Brahma (Shipped April - Oct)


This breed is derived from the standard (large) size
fowl of the same name from the late 1800s to the
mid 1900s. These birds are very gentle and easy to
handle. Brahmas are very hardy in cold weather, excellent setters, lay and
hatch well, and are very eye-appealing with their sharp contrast of colors.

JaPanese Bantams

(Shipped April - Oct)

class: Single Comb Clean Legged Bantams

The history of these can be traced back to Japanese paintings over 300 years old. These bantams carry their tails
upward and higher than the head. The wings angle down and back along the sides. Good layers, nice for show, and
very popular. Because of a genetic characteristic in Japanese bantams there is no such thing as a pure short-legged
Japanese. You may experience some chicks with medium to long legs.

Black Tailed
White Japanese

Black Tailed
Buff Japanese

The sharp contrast of


their white body feathers
and black tail feathers
make this breed very
distinguished looking. The primary wing
feathers are black with white edging,
while the front wing feathers are all white.
Add the bright red comb and wattles, and
you have a truly majestic bird.

This variety is
identical to the
Black Tailed
White Japanese
except a beautiful buff color
takes the place of the white
feathers. One of our more
popular bantam varieties, this
breed will definitely become
one of your favorites too.

This is one of the most


famous and all time
popular breeds of truly
American chickens.
Developed in the early
1900s in the state of the
same name, they have
maintained their
reputation as a dual purpose fowl
through the years. No other heavy
breed lays more eggs than the Rhode
Island Reds. Our production strain
is keeping up the fine reputation of
this old favorite.

The Speckled Sussex


was bred and developed
in Sussex County,
England over 100 years
ago. Its plumage color is
a delight to the eye
being of rich mahogany
base with individual feathers ending
in a white tip separated from the rest
of the feathers by a black bar. This
variety combines beauty with utility,
and is very nice to raise for showing.

shortage, Turkens stand cold weather very well, are good layers of brown
eggs, and grow to 6 pounds or more, making a fine eating bird.

This very heavy white variety of the Jersey Giant breed was developed from white
sports of the Black Giants, and is a comparative newcomer to the ranks of purebred
standard chickens. Slower to mature than Rocks, Reds, and other more common
heavy breeds, it will eventually surpass them in size and weight. Mature hens are very
large and good layers of brown eggs. Baby chicks are a real smoky gray, varying from
almost black to quite light in color.

by crossing several of the large, dark Asiatic breeds. Its black plumage has a
beautiful green sheen, the eyes are dark brown, shanks and toes are black
except for yellow skin showing on the bottoms of the feet. With the straight red
comb and tremendous size it makes an unusually handsome variety for exhibition. Hens are good layers of

general appearance is silvery-white and lustrous greenish-black as each feather is
edged in a contrasting color. The close-fitting rose comb and good body size are
valuable assets for winter laying. Cold weather doesnt seem to bother them at all as their hardiness and vigor
keep them laying straight through the winter. This is another excellent variety for exhibition.

THE COLOR BLUE: A unique genetic feature of this breed is the constant recurrence in the offspring of not only all blue chicks, but also the black, white, and
black-white colors used in the original matings many generations ago to produce these blue birds. All of these chicks carry the blue genes and when mated black
on white or with other blues in turn produce many blue offspring. In our breeding flocks, however, only blue males of the finest color are used. Approximately
50% of the baby chicks will be all blue. The other 50% will be black, white, and black/white combinations.

Our Very Best White Egg Layer!


Over 45 years of scientific breeding research have gone into the development of this layer
through a blending of special strains of White Leghorns. These females weigh about 4 lbs. at
maturity, start laying at 4 1/2 to 5 months, and will continue 10 to 12 weeks longer than most
good layers. Livability and resistance to disease are very high, and the feed to egg conversion
ratio is excellent, holding down the cost of egg production. When our local farmers ask us to recommend the hen that
will lay the most eggs of top grade and size, of uniform shape, good shell, and highest
interior quality, and do it on the least feed and in smallest amount of space, we suggest the Pearl.

covering one eye. The hens lay good-sized white eggs and are non-setters. Plumage
is a rich golden buff color and shanks and toes are a pinkish-white.

Black Minorca (Shipped Jan 26 - July 6)


This has always been one of our favorite varieties because it was about the first
one raised by our founder, Murray McMurray. In 1917, the first time he made
an exhibit at the Iowa State Fair, he won a blue ribbon on his prize Black
Minorca male, and it gave him a thrill he never got over. The Minorcas are the largest of the Mediterranean Class
and the Blacks are perhaps the finest examples of their class. They lay large white eggs and are non-setters.

Frying Pan Special

(Shipped Jan 26 - Oct 26)

The old fashioned fryer from the past.

The Pioneer chicken is


considered to be a dual
purpose bird. It has one of the
most unique feather color
patterns we have ever seen.
No two birds look alike! The
hens lay large brown eggs and
the males reach market weight
in around 12 weeks.

Some people prefer a smaller, lighter bird for fryers and these will fill that
bill. They are white feathered, yellow skinned, light breed male chicks from
our White Leghorns. They are delicious fryers but will take 16 - 20 weeks
to reach butchering size. They will not be as large as Cornish X Rock or
Cornish Roasters. Many of our customers buy the Frying Pan Special for
butchering and raise them with the pullets they order.

Grows faster and is heavier than the Red Ranger. Breast meat configuration is
similar to the Red Ranger, proportional to the dark meat, on a long keel. Live to
dressed weight yield averages 70% approximately 5 lbs.
It has yellow skin, shanks and beak. Feather color is black, yellow, red, gold,
copper, orange and white. This bird is suited for any environment.

Broiler Booster
HAVE YOU HAD LEG PROBLEMS WITH YOUR BROILERS OR ROASTERS? Cornish X Rocks, some heavy breeds of chickens, and
turkeys have astounding growth rates. This rapid growth can sometimes cause health problems. Broiler Booster contains biotin,
Vitamins A, D, E, B-12, and electrolytes, all of which work together to counteract weak legs. It is added to the water and will result
in healthier, stronger birds. If youre ordering broiler-type birds, seriously consider giving them this fine product. You should notice a
difference! For a flock of 50 chicks a 4 oz. package should last 7 weeks. For larger quantities see The Medicine Chest section of the
catalog. Shipped with baby poultry.

Jumbo Cornish X Rocks

Meat-N-Egg Combo

(Shipped Jan 26 - Oct 26)

(Shipped Jan 26 - Oct 26)

This is the most remarkable meat


producing bird we have ever seen. The
rapid growth of these chicks is fantastic
and the feed efficiency remarkable. We
think our Cornish X Rock chicks are
among the finest meat birds in America.
We should know. We fill our family
freezers with them every year! Males
will dress from 3 to 4 pounds in six to
eight weeks and females will take about
one and one-half weeks longer to reach
the same size. Please Note: See page 5
for instructions on feeding these chicks.
These birds are not recommended for
raising at altitudes above 5000 feet.

Nothing tastes better than


something you have grown yourself.
This special is created especially for
those of you who have specific
needs regarding the number of eggs
and amount of meat you wish to
have. In this assortment, for every
25 chicks ordered for example, you
will receive 15 beautiful meat birds
and 10 assorted females which will
lay brown or white eggs. We will
ship our broad breasted Cornish X Rocks or Cornish Roasters for your meat birds
(these could be all males - all females - or some of both) and the ten hens for
laying will be from our Murrays Choice and Brown Egg Layer chicks. The meat
birds will make nice fryers in 7 to 10 weeks and the hens will start giving you
eggs in 5-7 months. For those of you who want a few eggs each day and some
great tasting home grown chicken - order 25 or 50. For the more serious chicken
fancier who either wants to make a little money on the side or endear themselves
to the relatives or neighbors, try 75 or 100.

Cornish Roaster
(Shipped Jan 26 - July 6)
1989 was the first year that we were able to acquire the breeding stock for this
outstanding bird. It is ideal as a fryer (when butchered young), roaster or capon.
The Cornish Roaster takes about 2 weeks longer to mature than the Jumbo
Cornish X Rock but still has all of the same qualities: large breast and thighs,
yellow skin, and is easy to dress. Because it grows slower, many of the potential
leg problems are often eliminated. We sell them in straight run only and
recommend that you butcher the females as fryers and save the males as
roasters. Fryers can reach a dressed weight of 3-4 lbs. in 8 to 9 weeks and the
Roasters will reach a dressed weight of 8-9 lbs. at 12 weeks, making them a
mouth watering sight on Moms kitchen table.

Polish are one of the most beautiful of all poultry breeds with their large, distinctive crests. They
are of very ancient origin; for in many pictures by the old masters, and especially those by Dutch
and Flemish painters, the fowl shown in rural scenes are unquestionably Polish. They are quiet
and gentle birds, owing perhaps to their restricted vision because of the crests. They are a rather
small breed with compact bodies. They are fine layers of white eggs and non-setters.

White Crested Black Polish


The mature White Crested Black Polish represents a striking contrast in color
with their body plumage of lustrous black and crests of white with a few black
feathers. The little chicks are cunning with their black bodies and white top
hats. You will be delighted with these lovely and interesting chickens. They are
useful, as well as attractive.

Mottled Houdans (Shipped Jan 26 - July 6)

class: Continental

These were raised extensively on the many small farms near the village of
Houdan in France. This locale and the lovely black plumage in which many
feathers are tipped with V-shaped white spots give them their name. The
flowing crest, V-shaped comb, muff of feathers at the throat, and the 5th
toe give them an unusual appearance and make them a standout in any
poultry show. Houdans are fine-boned, juicy, white-skinned, and are good
layers of white eggs. In the crested breed family, they are larger than Polish. Baby chicks are patched with
black and white all over, and the little crest, beard, and 5th toe help identify them at once.

Chickens can make wonderful pets! Taking care of chickens,
as a pet, is relatively easy compared to other pets such as
dogs or cats. As feeders and waters can hold several days
worth of food and drink, your daily chore will most likely be collecting the delicious eggs from the chickens!

Phoenix are an ancient breed in Japan where they were kept in the imperial gardens.
Individual males were given special care and the tail feathers sometimes developed to the
fantastic length of 20 feet. Tails are striking although of more ordinary length. There has
been much confusion as to the proper name for this breed. It is now generally accepted that
the single comb birds as pictured, should be called PHOENIX.

Lakenvelders (Shipped Jan 26 - July 6)


We are told that the word Lakenvelder when translated
from the Dutch means a shadow on a sheet, a
particularly descriptive name. They were bred extensively in
Germany and Holland as long ago as the early 1800s, but
were not recognized here until the 1930s. They are quite
small when mature, 3 to 4 Ibs., and very quick and active, foraging widely if allowed to run. Hens lay
white eggs and are non-setters. Baby chicks are mostly creamy-white with a half collar of black on the
neck and sprinkling of black on the head and back.

Buttercups (Shipped Jan 26 - July 6)
This interesting breed was imported from the island of Sicily over 100 years
ago and is another member of the Mediterranean class. The golden color and
cup-shaped comb are the basis for the very descriptive name. The comb is a
cup shaped crown with a complete circle of medium sized regular points. The
males are a rich, brilliant orange-red with some black spangles in the feather
of the body fluff and cape feathers at the base of the hackle; with lustrous,
greenish black tail. The base color of the female is buff with all feathers on the body marked by parallel rows of black
elongated spangles, giving the hen an appearance of being beautifully spotted and suggesting a ringneck pheasant hen.
Because of its unusual appearance the Buttercup is an excellent breed for exhibition projects.

Chocolate Eggers: This breed was developed in France in the mid 1800s in the town for

and quickly became very popular for their very dark (chocolate) brown eggs - a trait they
are still known for today. We carry the CUCKOO variety of Marans which resembles the
Barred Rock in color by displaying feathers which are all crossed throughout with irregular
dark and light slate colored bars. Marans lay the darkest eggs of any breed we carry and are a nice dual

Q. Is there any way to tell if an egg is fresh?


A. Yes, put it in cold water. A fresh egg contains little air so it will sink. An older egg will float. Also, if you break open a fresh egg into

a dish, the white is compact and firmly holds the yolk up. In an old egg the white is runny and the yolk will flatten out.

Egyptian Fayoumis (Shipped Jan 26 - July 6)
These small, active, lovely chickens have been raised along the Nile River in
Egypt for centuries, and even though quite common there, are practically
unknown in this country. No other breed matures quite so quickly as these do
and the young females are apt to start laying their small tinted white eggs at 4
to 4-1/2 months while the males will start to crow at an unbelievable 5 to 6 weeks. They are attractively
marked with silvery-white hackles and white bars on black background throughout the body plumage. Leg
color can be either willow-green or slate-blue. Baby chicks are highly colored in brown, black, and white
markings on the back and a brownish-purple head color.

Q. How long does it take for a hen to lay eggs?


A. Most hens will start laying between 5-7 months of age. They will lay best at 1 to 2 years of age. All pullets (female chicken under
1 year of age) lay small eggs at first and after a while will lay larger eggs. Younger hens will lay 1 egg every 3-4 days. A hen 30 weeks
old can lay 2 eggs every 3 days. Some have been known to lay an egg a day. All breeds have different laying abilities.

Blue Laced Red Wyandottes
(Shipped Jan 26 - October 26)
This variety of Wyandotte is relatively new and came to the United States from England a
short time ago. The original development of these came from crossing Silver Laced and
Golden Laced varieties of Wyandottes. The blue gene will color the chicks either light blue
or dark blue in the lacing (the area around the reddish colored
feathers) in both the baby chicks and the mature birds. Therefore
class: American
you may have birds that vary somewhat in appearance but still
mature weight: Male 8.5 lbs. / Fe 6.5 lbs.

In general carriage the Spanish are graceful and stylish. The rich glossy black plumage, the
large red comb, and the long pendulous white face and ear lobes present a striking and
different appearance. They are non-setters, lay white eggs, and are the same size as
Minorcas. They are thought to be the oldest breed in the Mediterranean class of fowl. The
white face of our Spanish is very slow to develop. Please allow the birds to go through
one molt before showing them.

Standard BreedS rare Breed


Silver Leghorns (Shipped Jan27 - July 6)
This rare and beautiful variety has especially handsome plumage. The males are a
combination of silvery-white and lustrous greenish-black. The females are quite
different with silvery-gray neck, back and wings, and beautiful salmon shading in the
breast. They are good layers of white eggs and very vigorous, quick, and alert. Our strain is very carefully selected
for correct color and type, which makes them outstanding exhibition birds. If you are looking for something a little
different, with a good chance of winning in the poultry shows, try some Silver Leghorns. They are most unusual
and attractive. Baby chicks are striped like Brown Leghorns, but stripes are a lighter brown and base color more of
a grayish cast.

Weve got everything you need!


By far, we sell more chickens raised for their fresh eggs compared to being raised for food. However, raising chickens
as a means of food is a great way to know exactly where your food comes from. We offer a variety of resources to
help you learn how to raise chickens for meat. Our butchering kits will save you money rather than individually
buying the components you will need.
Scan this QR code or look in the Processing Equipment Section of this catalog to see our large selection!

Throughout the year we have several photo contests which offer you a wonderful opportunity to win prizes and showcase your photography talents. Many of our past

What is the benefit of ordering Juvenile


or 4 Week Old Chicks?
1) You can order as few as 1 chick. This is a great option for those with smaller
yards or who simply cant have more than a few chicks because of ordinances.
2) Started Pullets give you eggs much faster than newly hatched chicks.
3) 4 Week Old Chicks are larger and stronger than the newly hatched chicks
so they offer the new chicken owner a better start with less worries.

Other FOWL

Other Fowl Turkeys


Turkeys
To keep turkeys warm during shipment from the hatchery to you and to assure safe shipment, we require a minimum of 15 turkeys. You may combine breeds to make
up this number but the order must come to at least 15. Before ordering wild turkeys, please check with the Regulatory Agency in your state that controls wildlife
management. You may need a permit. Please Note: Blackhead is single celled organism (Histomonas meleagridis), and has the potential to damage the liver of turkeys
and game birds. The cecal worms, a common parasite found in chickens, acts as an intermediate host for the Blackhead organism. Raising chickens away from turkeys
and game birds is a good preventative measure in controlling Blackhead.

Giant White

Standard Bronze

These broad breasted turkeys are the most


popular. Easy to dress because of their white
feathers, they also get the biggest. Our
Nicholas strain hens reach 25 pounds and the
toms as much as 45 pounds.

Before modern commercial breeding


created the Broad Breasted Bronze,
we had the Standard Bronze turkey. It
is about 3/4 the size of the Broad
Breasted but; it can breed naturally, will
eat less and generally avoid potential
leg problems sometimes caused by very
rapid growth. The delicious flavor in the
meat and the feather coloring is the
same in both breeds. Standard Bronze
Turkeys can be shown in the noncommercial class at poultryshows.

Beautiful to behold, these stately lords of

appreciated. The metallic sheen of the
feathers changes from copper to bronze
to burnished gold as the light moves
across them. Four feet in length, six feet
from wing tip to wing tip, a full grown
tom will weigh in at about 38 pounds.
Hens easily go 22 pounds. No wonder

most beautiful of all turkey varieties. They have
very dark, rich, chestnut color that is edged in
black on many of the feathers. The wing tips
and the back one half of the tail are white
giving them a very striking appearance. They
will not grow as large or as fast as the bronze

Royal Palm

Blue Slate
Originating in Mexico 2000
years ago, Blue Slates were
taken to Europe and then
brought to the American
Colonies. They were
recognized as a standard
breed in the U.S. in 1874.
They come in three color
phases: solid black, solid
blue, and blue flecked with
black spots. Many times the birds are a combination of each phase coloring.
These beautiful birds are of medium size and are quite rare.

A remarkably attractive bird, the


Royal Palm displays some of the
nicest colors of all turkey
varieties. These birds are quite
small compared to other
turkeys. Mature toms weigh
15-20 pounds and hens are
considerably lighter at 10-12
pounds. They are striking in
appearance. These beautiful
birds have a white base color and most feathers are banded with a bright
metallic black color. The contrast of this black/white combination is truly radiant.
The Royal Palm is not a common variety and therefore we have a limited supply.

Narragansett
White Holland

This beautiful bird descends


from a cross between the
Eastern Wild Turkey and
domestic turkeys brought to
this country by European
colonists. It is named for the
Narragansett Bay of Rhode
Island. They are a rare,
multicolored, medium-sized
breed with hens weighing up
to 17 lbs. and toms up to 30 lbs. Their body plumage is primarily black with
bands of steel gray. The tail is dull black, regularly penciled with parallel lines of
tan, edged with steel gray. They are known for being calmer than most and are
good mothers.

White Hollands originating in Mexico, were


brought to Europe in the 1500s , first
documented in England in the early 1800s,
and accepted into the Standard of Perfection in
the U.S. in 1874 - a very old variety of turkey.
Because of their wide breasts and short legs
they were originally an important commercial
bird in this country in the early part of the
twentieth century but have been replaced in
that category by faster growing and larger
varieties. Todays White Hollands are very rare and kept by very few
exhibitionbreeders.

Wild Rio Grande

Wild Eastern

Originating in the Rio Grande


Valley, these wild turkeys are
very similar to the Broad
Breasted Bronze turkeys but
are much smaller. Females
can be distinguished from the
males by the presence of
white tips on the breast
feathers, pink skin on the
head and neck, and absence
of spurs. Most males will have
beards upon maturity. Unlike their domestic cousin, they will reproduce naturally
and do not require artificial insemination.

We sell the Eastern strain of


wild turkeys. This strain is
very hardy and of course
very colorful. They wont get
as big as the domestic
turkeys but are good flyers
and wonderful eating birds.
This variety is the favorite of
many sportsmen and the
type that is making such an
amazing comeback in the wild.

Ducklings Other FOWL


Ducklings

(Shipped March - November) Orders of 2-9 Ship After April 1st

If you have never raised ducklings before, we invite you to try some this year from Murray McMurray Hatchery. Ducks are easy to raise, naturally
free from disease, and once started, require little commercial feed. Although most ducks are raised for their meat, they do lay well and can
provide you lots of eggs for baking. You may want to hold over some for breeding stock and start your own farm flock the following year. Ducks
are an attractive addition to any barnyard. SMALL ORDERS: We are able to send you as few as 2 ducks or geese. They will be specially boxed
with a heat pack to assure they arrive in great shape. For orders of less than10 ducks or geese, there will be a small order charge of $45 to cover
the shipping, special handling, heat pack and boxing fees. You may order all one breed or combine different breeds to complete your order.
Ducks are available from March through November. Availability will vary by breed. SEXING OF DUCKS: If you order sexed ducks; the males will have purple, black or
dark pink leg tape and females will have brown, white or light pink leg tape. (1 drake to 6 hens is suggested for breeding purposes.)

Leg tape must be removed within a few days of receiving your birds.

White Pekin

Gold Star Hybrid

Originating in China in ancient


times, White Pekins were
brought to the Western World
in the middle 1800s. Their fine
meat quality and egg laying
ability quickly made them the
first choice of American duck
growers. Both the male and
female are creamy white in
color, yellow skinned, and very
large breasted. The males carry a fall weight of 10 to 11 pounds and the females
weigh 8 to 9 pounds. They are the easiest domestic ducks to pick and prepare
for eating.

These ducks were developed


for commercial flocks to lay
more and larger eggs than the
Khaki Campbell duck and have
a calmer temperament with a
higher fertility. The Gold Star
Hybrids were developed by
crossing and utilizing the
attributes of different duck
breeds. The coloring of these
ducks may not be the same as pictured, but the males are shades of black and
the females are shades of brown and can be sexed by color. They do not retain
these characteristics in future generations.

Khakis are known for being
one of the best general
purpose ducks. They are
probably the best layers of all
of the domestic ducks. They
will have a mature weight of
around 4-1/2 Ibs. and their
light plumage makes them
easy to pick and nice for table
use. The females are sealbrown and the males are the same with touches of darker
brown and a resemblance to the drake mallard. Khaki
Campbells are excellent foragers and withstand cool
climates very well.
Catalog #

Welsh Harlequin
The Welsh Harlequin are a
fairly new breed, developed by
Leslie Bonnett in Wales from
two lighter colored Khaki
Campbell ducklings in 1949.
They came to the United States
in 1968 and were accepted
into the American Poultry
Association in 2001 in the
Light Duck class. They have excellent egg production abilities due to their Khaki
Campbell background yet retain the instinct to sit and hatch a nest full of
ducklings. They are calm, inquisitive and excellent foragers. Interestingly, they can
be sexed after hatching with 90% accuracy by their bill color. Darker bills
normally indicate a male and lighter bills ending in a dark spot a female.
(Weight range 4.5-5.5 lbs.)

same home of the well known
Orpington Breed of chickens.

the same with the exception of the drakes head which is a beautiful seal-brown

Q. Do ducks and geese have to have

swimming water?
A. No. The birds love it but you are making some headaches for

yourself by providing swimming water. The biggest problem is


what to do with the water after they have muddied and
defecated in it so it becomes dirty. If you do provide swimming
water, they dont have to have it every day. Limit it to a few
times a week.

weigh up to 7 pounds and will lay mostly white eggs with an occasional blue or gray tinted egg. Refer to the description of Blue Andalusians to fully

very interesting addition to any farmstead. (Weight range 3.25 - 4 lbs.)

(Shipped March - June) Orders of 2-9 Ship After April 1st

Geese have a long and distinguished history. Domesticated in Ancient Rome, China, and Bible Lands, geese are even pictured on the Pyramids. In Central Europe a
newly married couple could expect young geese as a highly prized wedding present. Geese can be expected to breed past 30 years of age and a 40 year old is not
uncommon. 101 years of age is the record. Geese are raised primarily for meat today but we have many customers who also use the eggs for baking and the shells for
decorative arts. Goose down goes into everything from an old-fashioned feather bed to a modern lightweight jacket. Geese are easy and inexpensive to raise, quick to
grow, and a delight to behold. Your goslings ordered from Murray McMurray Hatchery, as they mature, will return their cost many times over in pleasure and profit!
SMALL ORDERS: We are able to send you as few as 2 ducks or geese. They will be specially boxed with a heat pack to assure they arrive in great shape. For orders of
less than10 ducks or geese there will be a small order charge of $45 to cover the shipping, special handling, heat pack and boxing fees. You may order all of one breed
or combine different breeds to complete your order. Leg tape must be removed within a few days of receiving your birds.

Pilgrim

Buff Geese

Pilgrims are the only domestic goose


breed in which you can distinguish
males from females at any age. As
babies, the males are yellow and light
gray with lighter colored bills, much
like a day old Embden or Sebastopol.
The day old females down is a deeper
gray/green with a darker bill like a
Toulouse. As adults the males are
white with a touch of gray on the rump or wings. The females are gray in color
like a Toulouse but often with white on the head. They are a calm, quiet goose
with a reputation of being excellent parents and foragers. The fertility of their
eggs is lower than other breeds in our experience. Its fertility averages about
55% over the complete season.

Buff geese, unlike other geese,


are very calm and have a
wonderful disposition. They are
a very light buff color
sometimes described as being
fawn. They have origins in
the United States which is
unusual as most geese come
from outside the U.S. Young
geese (up to one year old) will weigh between 12 and 16 pounds
and older geese several pounds heavier. Quantities limited to
5 goslings per customer.
#BFGS

Straight Run only 15.31 ea.

Sebastopol
A very unusual breed
of geese. The frizzled
or spiraled white
feathers on this
unusual looking bird make it appear
as though it had walked through a
wind storm backwards. A good
specimen will have long curly white
feathers on the back and front which
nearly touch the ground. The neck feathers are smooth. These geese, thought to
originate in southeastern Europe, can not fly, are very gentle, make nice pets, lay
eggs fairly well, and will reach a medium size of 10-14 pounds. Quantities
limited to 5 goslings per customer.

Weeder Geese
You can turn these geese
loose in your strawberries,
corn, or cotton and let them do
the weeding. They leave your
crop and eat the weeds! Our
choice as to which geese are
used to fill these orders (may
be cross-breeds).

commercial geese sold in America. They produce
excellent yields of goose down and all dark meat.

The Chinese goose originated


in China from the wild Asiatic
Swan goose. The most
distinguishing feature of the
Chinese geese is their raised
knob. White Chinese is the
most prolific egg laying goose
and it is not unusual to have
them lay in the fall or winter. The earliest record of Chinese geese in America is in
the correspondence of George Washington, who in 1788 received a pair from
Governor Morris. The Brown Chinese goose is smaller than the white with
identical coloring to the African goose. Chinese geese are a more talkative
breed of geese. Due to this characteristic, they are the best breed if you want to
be alerted to intruders or other strange occurrences.
Brown Chinese

White Embden
White
Embden
geese
originated by
the Em River
in Germany
and were first brought to the
U.S. in 1821. They have the
same massive appearance as
the Toulouse, combined with a pure white color. They are a wonderful eating bird
and easier to dress because of the white plumage. Expect fall weights of 20
pounds for males and 13 pounds for females. Excellent for purebred showing.

African
This breed is not as heavy as the
Toulouse or White Embden, but
they mature early. They are
different from other geese in
having a large black knob on their
head and a dark stripe down the back of the neck.
They are very dignified looking and attract a great
deal of attention. They are especially desirable for
crossing with the heavier breeds of geese.

guineA (Shipped May - September)
Orders must total 30, 60, 90, or 120 for safe delivery. All
guineas originally came from Africa and have always been
prized for their all-dark, gamey tasting meat. Guineas are very
easy to raise. Once you get them started, they live and grow on
bugs, insects, and weed seeds. The newly hatched young are
called keats and are very active from the start. Once guineas
are grown they will range throughout your farmstead foraging
for food and serving as your personal watchdogs. Many of our
customers report the addition of guineas to their homestead
has greatly reduced the number of ticks, particularly the
dreaded deer tick. UNTIL 12 WEEKS OF AGE, DIFFERENT
COLORS OF GUINEAS WILL LOOK SIMILAR AND BE DIFFICULT
TO DISTINGUISH. Guineas sold as Straight Run only.
To help guineas get off to a good start, place a few marbles in their
water. It will keep them from possible drowning.

Juvenile Guineas
Our juvenile guineas - age 12-18 weeks - are raised on our grass pasture and
supplemented with our natural feed.
Guineas are natural bug exterminators - they are excellent in controlling ticks
and fleas. As such - they roam in search of fresh supply of bugs. When your
guineas arrive, please be very aware of their tendency to roam. If you keep them
confined for 3-4 weeks - with food and water - they will associated that location
as home base, and even though they roam - they will tend to roost at home base.

Very Important: Guineas are known to wander in search of food,


please keep them confined a minimum for 3-4 weeks before allowing them to
free range. Even with this confinement they might wander off, if this is a
concern keep them continually confined.

Incubators
R-Com Mini Incubator

The Mini Advance

The process of incubating and


hatching eggs is a delight to watch
and is made easy with the new R-com
3 egg incubator. Designed as an
educational incubator the R-COM
really works! Three eggs are gently
warmed and turned automatically as
they incubate and the display even
counts down each day to tell you
when they are due to hatch.
TheR-Com is menu driven and
extremely easy to use: just choose
between one of the 5 settings
(chicken, duck, pheasant, quail or
mystery bird - to be programmed)
and the micro-controller holds the
correct temperature, turning and length of incubation.

This incubator holds 7 hens eggs (or


equivalent) and provides the fine
temperature control to ensure consistent
and reliable hatches. Temperature is set at
the factory and can be fine tuned if
required. Automatic egg turning with
auto-stop 2 days prior to hatching,
countdown to date-of-hatch and
temperature alarms on its digital display
so you will always know the status of your
hatch. Humidity is provided for with
central water reservoir. Operates at low
voltage for safety.

disturbing the incubating eggs. A ring of bright white
LEDs give an excellent view of the eggs contents and you
can also control the focal point of the scope. (For use with
R-Com only.)

4-8hours 3-5 times per day is recommended.

Mini Dome
Incubator

S top turning eggs 3 days prior to expected hatch. Remove automatic


turner at this time.

Here is a handy little incubator that is


ideal for school, scouting, 4-H, and
other small projects. This is an
educational experience that allows a
clear view of the incubation process
and serves as a great introduction to
hatching and the miracle of birth. This
is a small capacity incubator, maximum egg capacity is 3 chicken, 4pheasant, 7
quail, 2 turkey, or 2 duck eggs. Includes small thermometer. Eggsnot included.

and to be dehydrated.

Brooders
Universal Box Brooder
It has a clear plastic front panel that allows easy viewing of the interior. Each brooder comes with 3 28.5 troughs for feed or water mounted
on outside of brooder. The 250 watt heater provides heat while the vented plastic side panels keep out drafts. It has a socket for a low wattage
attraction bulb. Each comes with a thermometer and wafer thermostat, which is accurate to 1 degree. The floor is 1/2 mesh which allows
droppings to pass through. For quail or small chicks use the DACB paper for 4 to 7 days. Drop pans are made of lightweight
aluminum and can be pulled out even when brooders are stacked and the wire floor is heavy with birds. This box brooder is
universal as each side panel comes with adjustable gate to regulate openings for chick type and age to allow them access to
feed and water. For first 3 weeks quail chicks should use the 4YQW waterer and 4GGF1 feeder. Day-old poultry and ducks can
feed directly from the troughs. All 3 side panels and back door are easily removed for cleaning while the brooder is assembled.
(TEMPERATURE RANGE IS 75 - 115 degrees, must be located in a heated space to maintain these temperatures.) Capacity to
4th week 100 quail - 50 Chukar or Pheasants - 48 chickens (these capacities vary with breed size). Ships in 2 cartons.

Four Bulb Brooder

Automatic Radiant Heat Brooder


SAVE ENERGY! Why heat the entire building
when all you want is to provide warmth for
your birds? Radiant heaters heat animals,
birds, people, or objects; not the air around
them. What is radiant heat? The sun is an
example of a radiant heater. It radiates
infrared heat waves through space until these
rays strike an object, such as the planet Earth.
The Earth is warmed by the suns infrared waves. The warmed Earth then gives off
heat to heat the air. This brooder works on the same principal. It warms objects
under it and the object gives off heat to warm the air. This high quality
commercial grade brooder has a built-in solid-state automatic temperature
sensing control. The sensor is suspended below the unit near the chicks to feel
what the chicks feel. This unit will warm approx; in northern states: 240 chicks,
140 turkey poults, 200 pheasants/quail, 12 ratites. In middle states: 300 chicks,
180 turkey poults, 260 pheasants/quail, 14 ratites. In southern states: 360 chicks,
220 turkey poults, 320 pheasants/quail, 16 ratites. Temperature range 40-100
degrees Fahrenheit. Comes with a 6 foot cord. 800 watts, 120 volts, 6.7 amps,
35x6x 6, 8 lbs.

Fencing

Staple Pliers and Staples:

Electric Poultry Fencing


PoultryNet contains most non-flying poultry
and protects them from most ground
predators. It is also excellent for rapidly
rotating the poultry from one grass and/or
garden area to another. The close spacing
(2.5 x 3) of the vertical and lower
horizontal wires provides both a physical
and a pain barrier to birds, while the pain

Jiffy Feeder

POULTRY MUST HAVE GRIT. Because poultry have no teeth,


they need a hard substance in their crop to grind the feed.
This helps them utilize the vitamins and food value in what they eat. (Calcium
dissolves in the crop and does not take the place of grit).

Made of galvanized steel and is used for day-old through 6 week old chicks. Each
feeder is two feet long and will take care of up to 35 chicks.
Dimensions: 23L x 4W x 2H.

If you are unable to buy grit or oyster shell in your area, we can send it to you.
We apologize for the high cost as it is expensive to ship. Dont let your birds go
without these important parts of their diet.

Dust Masks

Nite Guard

These lightweight particle masks allow you to breathe


and speak normally. These are the same masks we use
here at the hatchery. Dust Masks come in packs of 10.

Protect your birds at night.


Nite Guard is a solar powered (no batteries
needed ever) flashing, red light that, when
positioned correctly, will repel night animals that
could harm your livestock or your gardens.
Scientific studies done in Europe have proven that
all night animals share the same deeply rooted fear
of being watched and therefore threatened.
Remember being told to never look a cornered animal in
the eyes as it represents a challenge? The specially
engineered red flash of Nite Guard implies the eye of
another organism and presents that very threat. These
studies have also shown the color red to be a universal
alarm color for all animals and humans. Stop signs are red
in color for that reason. Protects against owls, coyotes,
opossum, raccoons, fox, bobcats, muskrats, bear, cougar,
wild boar, mink, weasels and many more nocturnal
predators. Works best with four units.

Quik Chik & Broiler Booster

On the very first day, after arrival, Gro-Gel Plus is


used. Gro-Gel Plus is the perfect solution to getting
your poultry off to that all important great start. For
baby poultry to grow and live efficiently they must

body weights substantially thus saving you bird loss
and money in the long run.

Available only at Murray


McMurray Hatchery
Several years ago we recognized a need for a
product that day-old poultry could really benefit
from and would get them off to a good start. We
came up with BROILER BOOSTER and QUIK CHIK.
Since then literally thousands of our customers have
tried QUIK CHIK and each year we get a pile of mail
acclaiming its merits. We thought so much of it
ourselves, that we filed for and received our own
trademark from the U. S. Government. FREE
SHIPPING ON QUIK CHIK & BROILER BOOSTER
Quik Chik now meets NOP/USDA National
Organic Standards
Quik Chik: Get your chicks off to a good start with
Quik Chik. Put this combination of vitamins and
electrolytes in the drinking water right from the first
day. It will help overcome shipping stress, and
vitamin shortage. One 4 oz. package takes care of
about 200 chicks for 2 weeks. We can send the 4 oz.
package in the box that your chicks are shipped in.
Quik Chik is also good for ducks, geese, turkeys,
pheasants, quail, and partridge so be sure to have
some waiting when they arrive. Sorry, but we can
only ship the 4 oz. size of Quik Chik in the box with
chicken orders. The 4 oz., 1 lb. and 3 lb. sizes can be
ordered separately anytime. Quik Chik is in
compliance with the NOP/USDA National List
standards. You should verify with your certifying
agency before using.

Broiler Booster: Cornish X Rocks, Roasters,
Turkeys, and other heavy breeds of chickens have
astounding growth rates, but if managed incorrectly,
this rapid growth can sometimes cause health
problems. Broiler Booster contains Vitamins A, D, E,
B-12, electrolytes, and biotin, which really works to
counteract weak legs. When added to your chicks
water, it will increase the birds overall health, makes
them stronger, and results in more food on the table.
Please consider giving your birds this fine product if
you are ordering any of the larger type birds.

Heres how Gro-Gel Plus works: Upon arrival, mix


1/2 cup of water with a packet of Gro-Gel Plus and
spread it over their food. Its bright green color will
attract chicks to their feed source. The birds will love
it. Upon consumption, the day-olds will get water
(hydration), proteins and amino acids (the building
blocks of most body tissues), carbohydrates and fats
(energy), vitamins (gets the digestive and immune
system started), and probiotic bacteria (gets the gut
bacterial population going). This is really a complete
supplement for getting them off to a great start.
One packet will be enough for 100 baby chickens or
turkey poults, 200 pheasant chicks or ducklings, or
400 baby quail. We highly recommend using GroGel Plus on the first day and then supplementing
your flock with either Quik Chik or Broiler Booster
for the next several weeks.
Contains the following microorganisms:
Lactosacillus Acidophilus: This is a primary
Lactobacillus micro-organism which according to
documented research implants on the villi of the
intestinal tract. The only member of this
Lactobacillus genus known to implant. This microorganism during it growth phase produces lactic
acid and the enzyme amylase. These strains were
isolated from poultry and therefore are adapted to
poultry. They will multiply rapidly in the poultry gut
unlike other non-specific strains.
Lactorbacillus Casei: This primary Lactobacillus
enjoys a wide temperature and pH range in its
growth phase. This micro-organism complements the
growth of L. acidophilus. Lactic acid is produced as
well as amylase.
Bifidobacterium Bifidum: This is a very delicate
micro-organism found commonly in mothers milk
and the intestine of man and animals.
Streptococcus Faecium: A beneficial
Streptococcus micro-organism known for its ability
to produce lactic acid in pH ranges similar to that of
Lactobacillus casei.

Nutrition Block for Game


Birds & Deer
These 25 lb. blocks provide
100% of a growing deer or
birds nutritional requirements
and can be used for various
purposes. Use these blocks for
several days prior to restocking
so the birds get used to them. Then leave the blocks
in a natural feeding area for them to use upon
release. To prevent pecking and cannibalism in
caged birds, break these blocks into smaller pieces
and put into their areas. Maybe the best reason to
use these blocks is to be sure your birds have all of
the proper protein, fat, fiber, minerals, and vitamins
needed daily. If you have quail, pheasants, partridge,
other game birds, or wild game such as deer in your
area, why not give these nutritional blocks a try?

disease can be a problem in turkeys, chukar, grouse,
quail, partridge, pheasants, and peafowl but rarely in
chickens. Chickens are often carriers, thus the benefits
of segregating birds by species as well as age.
Caused by a protozoan, the symptoms include:
increased thirst, decreased appetite, drowsiness,
weakness, yellowish-brown, watery, or foamy
droppings, and the birds may become very thin. Pale
yellow droppings in turkeys is almost always a sign of
blackhead. Birds contact the disease by eating
earthworms which contain the cecal worm or by
ingesting dropping from infected birds. Dosage: 1/4
tsp. per gallon of water. Poultry should be over 3
weeks of age. This medication must be administered

QuikStrike Fly Abatement Strip was especially
designed to control nuisance flies. Flies
are instinctively drawn to curved
surfaces thus the curved design of the
QuikStrike strip helps facilitate fly
feeding. Plus, the curved design
provides more exposed surface area for
flies to feed on. Strip contains a unique
active ingredient that kills flies seconds
after they begin to feed. The patented,
triple-action attractant draws flies to
the strip where they feed on a sugarbased active ingredient coating.

Q. How often do I need to clean my coop?


A. If your coop is well ventilated and large enough for your flock, you might only need
to clean it once a month, especially with some daily basic maintenance. Remember to
add bedding to the nesting boxes to prevent dirty eggs. Be sure to fix a leaky roof or
waterer to lengthen the period of time between full coop cleanings.

McMurray Hatchery Mug

Sumatran Long Tail Blend

Now in, the new McMurray Hatchery mug. It will hold


15ounces of your favorite beverage.

The Sumatran breed comes from the island of


Sumatra in far off southeast Asia. Sumatran coffees
capture the wild jungle essence of this tropical
Indonesian island. We cup Sumatran after Sumatran
to find that earthy, deep, complex, full-bodied coffee
that exhibits low-acidity smoothness. A great
Sumatran is creamy, sweet, with a touch of butterscotch, spice, and mustiness.
Origin: Single origin Sumatra. 1 lb.

bodied coffee that is smooth as silk. Origin: This

your coffee. Origin: Varying Coffees. 1 lb.
#8ANC Ground or #8ANCB Whole Bean - $12.99

the crop does not even leave the country and is

Residing primarily in the Yucatan Peninsula, this
breed of turkey is simply majestic with its bronze and
green iridescent colors. While arguably the most
colorful turkey breed, just to the southwest is this
Guatemalan coffee, which is some of the most
amazing fragrant and aromatic coffees in the world. The natural shade and jungle
of the Guatemalan highlands is the perfect environment which lends itself to a
very nice and very natural full cup. Antigua is Guatemalas oldest and most
famous coffee growing region. Antiguan cups are nice bodies, full-on bright
coffees with spice. There is a reason this region is so loved and sought out by the
coffee connoisseur. Origin: Single Origin Guatemala. 1 lb.

without the kick, this is the coffee for you. This decaf is a mild Columbian with
clean and delicate cup flavors. Origin: Single Origin Columbian. 1 lb.

Quik Chik Drinking Water Aid

Coccidiosis Vaccination

Starter Kit

Several years ago we recognized a need for a


product that day-old poultry could really benefit
from and would get them off to a good start. We
came up with QUIK CHIK. Since then, literally
thousands of our customers have tried QUIK CHIK
and each year we get a pile of mail acclaiming its
merits. We thought so much of it ourselves, that we
filed for and received our own QUIK CHIK trademark
from the U. S. Government.

Keeping small poultry flocks healthy and productive


requires skilled husbandry practices. We are now
offering a coccidiosis vaccine to help you manage
your flock. Coccidia are common protozoan
parasites. They are present in almost all chicken
yards and can lay dormant for years until chickens
are introduced. Heavy infections of coccidia cause
serious disease and may kill many chickens.
Chickens of all ages can come down with
coccidiosis, but 4- to 16-week-old chickens are most
commonly affected. Wet litter, poor nutrition and
concurrent diseases are the most common triggers
of coccidiosis. We do vaccinations here at the
hatchery, because it is best to vaccinate chicks at
1-3 days of age. A successful vaccination will
provide long-lasting immunity. PLEASE READ: To
reduce the threat of coccidiosis you should either:
1)Have us vaccinate your birds and not use
medicated feed. OR 2) Use a medicated feed
containing a coccidiostat. ORGANIC GROWERS:
Vaccinations are in compliance with the NOP/USDA
organic standards. You should verify with your
certifying agency before having us vaccinate
yourchicks.

This convenient kit has the


items you need to start your
baby poultry. Consists of:
two - quart waterers, two one pound chick feeders,
1brooder guard, 1 single bulb brooder complete
with infrared bulb, and a brooder thermometer for
keeping the correct temperature. Perfect for all
day-old poultry except quail.

Now, when we feel that we have a good product,


orshould we say, a really good product, we want to
give it the best exposure we can. Thats why QUIK
CHIK is on the back cover. If it was just something
only a few of you could use, we would put it inside
the catalog, but QUIK CHIK is a product all of you
need for your birds. It gives your older birds that
extra pickup they may be lacking and it just
downright helps your young poultry get off to that
all-important healthy start.
QUIK CHIK is the product to use for all types of
poultry and is full of vitamins and electrolytes. You
mix it into the birds drinking water from the start
and it will help overcome any stress from shipping
or vitamin shortages that may be present. One
package will take care of about 200 chicks for two
weeks. Well send it in your shipping box along with
your poultry order; and the best news of all is, it only
costs $3.95 a package and we pay the shipping.
#QCC - $3.95
If you mail us your order, please dont forget to add
QUIK CHIK. If you call in your order, well try to
remind you about QUIK CHIK, but if we forget,
please remind us that you need some. Were sure
QUIK CHIK will make a difference. Thank you.

Chest section of the catalog.)

Mareks Vaccination
Mareks is a widespread disease affecting domestic
chickens in all sections of the world. It is
characterized by lesions affecting the nervous
system, organs, and other tissues. Young chickens
under 16 weeks of age are most susceptible. There is
no treatment for Mareks once the birds are infected.
Chicks must be vaccinated as close to the time of
hatch as possible for the vaccine to be effective. We
vaccinate all of our own breeding stock and strongly
feel that you should do the same. Vaccinating your
birds for Mareks is another appropriate step in
strong poultry management. Dont take any chances.
Let us vaccinate your chicks prior to shipment of
your order. Dont forget to mark your order blank in
the appropriate location for vaccination.

Broiler Booster
HAVE YOU HAD LEG PROBLEMS WITH YOUR
BROILERS OR ROASTERS? Cornish X Rocks, some
heavy breeds of chickens, and turkeys have
astounding growth rates. This rapid growth can
sometimes cause health problems. Broiler Booster
contains biotin, Vitamins A, D, E, B-12, and
electrolytes, all of which work together to counteract
weak legs. It is added to the water and will result in
healthier, stronger birds. If youre ordering broilertype birds, seriously consider giving them this fine
product. You should notice a difference! For a flock
of 50 chicks a 4 oz. package should last 7 weeks.
For larger quantities see The Medicine Chest section
of the catalog. Shipped with baby poultry.

Grow Gel Plus


On the very first day, after arrival, Gro-Gel Plus is
used. Gro-Gel Plus is the perfect solution to getting
your poultry off to that all important great start. For
baby poultry to grow and live efficiently they must
readily start to eat and drink. Gro-Gel Plus provides
immediate nutrition, hydration and micro-organisms
to jump start their digestive system. Research has
shown that it has improved livability and mature
body weights substantially, thus saving you bird loss
and money in the long run. One packet will be
enough for 100 baby chickens or turkey poults, 200
pheasant chicks or ducklings, or 400 baby quail.
Shipped with baby poultry. Mix with water and
makes approximately 1 cup of gel.
