“All my eggs--I ordered two sets--arrived safely, with two extras. We're on day five on incubation, so I can't predict our success rate yet, but I did candle one egg and saw that it was developing nicely! High hopes for a successful hatch. Thank you, MPC!”
“PRO: I was happy to receive 7 different types of eggs on my shipment for 6 hatching eggs. They call came unbroken and packaged well. Secondly, the ladies on the phone were very helful in some tips for incubating.
CON: arrived late. Was to be delivered on Saturday but did not arrive until Monday. They did not send me a tracking number until they were actually delivered. The worst part was that they delivered my eggs to my front porch in sub zero weather so I was unaware that they were even on their way intil I got my tracking number that said they had been delivered. I am worried that they may not be viable at all. Will know tommorw when I do my first candling. Fingers crossed.”
“We were so excited to be hatching eggs. So we ordered from this company. We were not sure how to do it and as a result, we had no eggs hatch. They were nice enough to send us another set of eggs and we watch these eggs and watch these eggs to make sure everything was right well two hour sadness again, none of our eggs hatched. I don’t know how they can send us six eggs and not one of them hatch especially since we made sure all the conditions were correct I’m really sad that I would never order from this company again.”
“I ordered a set of these in Oct 2020 but USPS completely bungled the shipping and they were lost for 2 wks. Needless to say those eggs were useless when they were finally found. I was just devastated,
the breeds had been a lovely assortment to lose to a USPS flub up.
MpC was amazing helping me handle the situation with the insurance claim, and I was able to reorder them just recently. (They were replacement eggs so I was refunded for the "original lost 6" but I added 6 extra crossing my fingers that this time they'd arrive safely!)
They Did! 14 beautifully packaged eggs arrived in 2 days, all intact and immediately rested in my incubator in cartons.
Its day 12 and of the 14 eggs 12 are developing perfectly when candled! One the BBS cochin quit very early around day 3 with a ring (it happens) and one did not develop possibly damaged in shipping or just quit so early it did not appear when candled.
Very happy. Shipping eggs is always stressful but they were wonderful about it. The breed list included helps you figure out what you've got. Super excited to see if everyone developing hatches on March 29-3rd!”
“I have never tried hatching my own chicks before, but this was a really great first experience in my opinion. I ordered 12 eggs & received 14. There were at least 6 different breeds in my pack. Now, these eggs were shipped from Connecticut to South Carolina in January, so I had realistic expectations on viability from the get go. I also made a lot of mistakes, being my first go round as well. I didn‚Äôt give my incubator a whole lot of time to regulate and I didn‚Äôt let the eggs sit long enough when they first arrived. Again, the usual excited rookie moves. I also candled them (or tried to) too early and too often at first. One egg started to stink/seep on day 5, so it got tossed. One egg developed a blood ring on day 7. I tossed 5 that had no development on day 12 and then 2 that had stopped developing right before lock down on day 17. Today is hatch day, and so far I have 3 happy healthy chicks wandering around my incubator, one egg that has pipped & one that‚Äôs doing the wobble. Fingers crossed the last two make it out, but even if they don‚Äôt, I‚Äôm very satisfied with my first go around. So much so, I have 6 more eggs on order to ship this week!”
“I have read mixed reviews about these eggs, so I decided to try them. I received extra eggs for starters. I left them to set for a day after they arrived as recommended. I chose 14 of the 16 I received and began incubation. Day three the power went out and I had to do an emergency relocation to my office at work....candles the eggs on day 9. Removed 2 and continued...day 19 candled again...kicked out 2 more
Day 21 they began to hatch and by the end of the day all 10 eggs left had hatched...3days later and all the chicks are happy and healthy....ended up with 3 bantams and 7 large breeds. Excellent product and successful rate thanks”
“I ordered 6 chicks and got an extra egg! Which was pretty good since one of my eggs came cracked and was for sure not going to hatch. I got a good variety too! 5 out of 6 were all different breeds and I got a pretty rare/expensive breed. Out of the 6, 4 of them hatched and I got 2 bbs cochins, an Isabel orp, and an easter egger. They are really adorable and all happily running around. Thank you My Pet Chicken for these eggs!”
“So pleased with this batch, we usually hatch our own eggs but haven't in a couple of years after a flock attack.
For being eggs that where mailed they've done great! 10 of 24 have hatched so far and there are still 24 hrs left in the hatch schedule I am hoping to wake up to maybe one more in the morning.”
