I hope you have a high speed internet connection or this page is certain to frustrate you...

Here in my neck of the woods, we like to get together and order our chicks as a group...  4-H kids for instance, may only need six or fewer chicks for their projects.

When the chicks arrive, some are obvious, but others present a challenge in figuring out who's chicks are what breed or type?  Often the day old birds do not resemble their adult traits and can appear very similar to one another.

Here on this page I am happy to share with you, videos provided by Murray McMurray Hatchery which provide the names and some basic traits of their most popular breeds. 

I feel that it is also important to support the big hatcheries like Murray McMurray as they are working to preserve rare pure bred stock sources that could otherwise go by the way side (">
