Chick days are starting soon. Chick arrivals vary by location, but some store's chicks are arriving as early as the last week in February. All stores will have chicks by mid-March. If you are interested in checking out the first arrival of chicks, ducklings and bunnies, join the eHerd. eHerd members receive special notices, updates and promotions by email. We also will be emailing the eHerd as the first chicks arrive. Join the eHerd at www.murdochs.com/eHerd.
If you are planning to bring a large group, please call us to arrange for a group visit to our store during the month of March.
Please remember the baby chicks are delicate, and should only be handled by a Murdoch's employee.
The chicks are arriving at Murdoch's!

Field trips should be scheduled in advance by contacting the Murdoch’s store manager. We also will have a fun Chick Days bookmark for each child at the store, full of chick facts, jokes and interesting information.
