      Are you interested in receiving DEAD ducklings? Yearning for FREE EXTRA male chicks, also DEAD? Then Murray McMurray Hatchery is for you. When contacting the Hatchery on Friday, I spoke with ******. She stated they should have been at my post office that day. Nonetheless they could/ should show up on the 4th day even though it isnt ideal.Saturday, I called my post office, they had received nothing. I tried calling the hatchery. There is no one to speak to after business hours. I went to their website and contacted them via Send Us a Message I have yet to receive a response. It is Monday after business hours.Today, ten days after placing my order and SIX days after receiving my shipping notification, my small town post master finally called saying my package was in. I went straight up to the post office to pick up my package. The entire post office smelled repulsive. My post master handed me a box of decay and said I dont think they made it. The smell alone was enough to turn my stomach. However, opening a box full of dead fowl, covered and half eaten by maggots was the topper. There are laws in place to prevent this situation from happening.No refund could change this experience. GO TO *************** STORE!

      We are very sorry and saddened to hear of the issues with this order. We did review all communications regarding this order and the customer was refunded the entire amount for her order.

      Review Details: Her order shipped on Thursday, 3/28. The order was for three ducklings, no male chicks were part of her order. On Friday, 3/29, we spoke to her and both agreed to reconnect on Monday 4/1 at which time we would determine a plan that if they hadn't arrived by Saturday morning or if anything was wrong. We have a live arrival and 48 hour livability guarantee on all orders we ship. At the time we spoke on 3/29 it had only been 24 hours, and it can take up to 72 for orders to arrive at their end location. We did receive an email over the weekend stating they hadn't seen the order yet, however our office hours are 8-5 central time Monday-Friday. Her email indicated that the *********** also had no update for her. On Monday 4/1 4 days after shipping we did speak to her twice during normal business hours (11:50AM and 3:20PM central) at which time we were informed the order HAD arrived on 4/1, and due to losses we immediately processed a full refund for her.
