We are terribly sorry that you had such disappointing hatching experiences with your shipment. As outlined in the Incubation Guide, on the My Pet Chicken website, we can never promise hatch results, as there are so many factors that can affect hatch rate. We hope the solutions we had offered to you at the time were found to be somewhat helpful as we attempted to do our best to make the situation as right as possible. Please let us know any time if you ever have any questions regarding hatching eggs, or anything for your flock, as we are here to do our best to help.

“Ordered 13 eggs, received 15, and 5 hatched. All eggs were undamaged. I used a Brinsea Maxi EX at standard settings. I elected not to candle until lockdown to reduce fluctuations or a chance of accidentally cracking them. Only one other egg was partially developed. The rest were still clear at day 18. The hatch rate seems a little low even for shipped eggs, but this is my first hatch and I knew fertility would be lower late in the season. Interestingly, the smallest peewee sized egg hatched into a clean legged and 4 toed chick. I’m not sure if it was just a genetic anomaly or if one of the extra eggs was another bantam breed. It will be interesting to see what it grows up to look like.”
“Do not waste your money with this company on eggs!! Especially the silkies. I ordered 6 eggs and only 2 made the hatch. I reached out to MyPetChicken through the entire incubation process. I let them know on day 7, 14, and 17 that only 2 eggs were growing and the rest were blanks. Not even fertile eggs. Never ever showed growth just yolk. I even proved them pictures on each day to show there was no change in the eggs. More than half my order being yolkers. The hatch rate guarantee policy they have in place saying they will replace your eggs is a lie. I paid $19.99 per egg and only 2 making the hatch they told me that was a 50% hatch rate. Do.not.waste.your.money!! This company will never have me as a customer ever again, Also my first review was not posted and that was over 3 months ago. So they clearly don’t even want customers knowing how it really goes. I did however receive a email asking if I wanted to change my review and I said nope. Still was posted. Wonder if this one will get posted.”
