“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.”

“Recd 6 eggs, only 1 egg hatched. 4 eggs were not fertile n 1 egg stopped developing. This is my third n last of hatching eggs. I rather get live chicks.”
“I do not recommend buying hatching eggs from my pet chicken. I ordered 6 silkie eggs and spent a total of $160 on said eggs and was sent 2 fertile eggs while 4 of the remaining eggs were not fertile at all and showed no growth during the entire incubation period. I kept in touch with the customer service team every major day of candling (day 7, day 14, and day 17) to let them know those 4 eggs showed no growth and were just yolkers (not fertile) They told me to keep them in the incubator and continue the hatch and let them know the results after hatch day. So I did. They took over a week to get back to me to let me know they would not replace the eggs they sent that were infertile cause 2 hatched out of the 7 received. I do not recommend buying from my pet chicken. As a customer who spent $160 and only received 2 fertile eggs and getting denied replacements for the infertile eggs is a huge disappointment. Do not trust their guarantee cause it’s not truthful. Do not waste your money here find a honest company to support instead.”
“Arrived packed extremely well,,sitting in the incubator at this time. Company is polite, quick to respond and offer info for everything chicken/egg and in between. The welcome to the family was endearing.
Thankyou- Debby, awaiting my hatchlings!!!”
“4 out of the 7 eggs that were send were not fertilized. The other 3 were quitters. This was the first time we have incubated to have had none hatch. Super disappointing.”
“I am so excited to hatch these special show quality silkie eggs. Unfortunately one egg arrived with a pretty obvious crack in it. I repaired the egg with candle was from a white tapered candle. I have the eggs in my Brinsea 28 ex incubator. I am only on day 6, so I will have to update the review in 15 to 16 days to report if any or all of the eggs hatch. I’m really hoping a few or all of the eggs will hatch, however the cracked egg does have me concerned, but I’m hoping for the best. I’m documenting my hatching egg journey on my Instagram @emmamadeline if anyone wants to follow along or if you have any tips for me. I have the temperature set at 99.5 F and the humidity is set at 45%. I did not turn the eggs for the first 3 days. At the beginning of day 4 I turned on the turner. Please send these eggs a lot of good luck. Sending hearts to all my chicken friends and to everyone at My Pet Chicken. Sincerely yours, Emma”
