Title: McMurray's hatchery on dirty jobs
Post by: MtBullion Gamebirds on October 17, 2007, 02:44:14 PM: Did anyone happen to see McMurray hatchery on Dirty Jobs last night? Kind of interesting how they sex the poultry chicks. Squeezing them first. Funny, the bucket of poo. :laugh:

I bought a dozen turkey eggs from them about four years back. Shipped 14 and I had 12 make it out of the egg......One infertile and one blood ring. Lost a couple right off when "something" knocked the brooder off the shelf and they got wet. Wound up with six that made the transition from egg to roasting pan.
Don't know if they contract for suppliers or have their own flocks so I can't help you there.
