“I ordered 12 and received 15. Of those 4 were not fertile. In the end, 7 babies hatched from various colored eggs and all managed to be naked necks and seem to be healthy! We are very excited. It’s still hard to tell but we might have 2 frizzles in the bunch. I’m giving 4 stars because nature didn’t favor those 4 eggs and because all of them are naked necks (I was hoping for a variety).”
Thank you Nicole for providing this thoughtful review, we truly appreciate the feedback! The Fun & Funky Bunch eggs are packaged to contain a minimum of 3 different varieties! If you choose this bunch again, please indicate in the "order notes" field during checkout that you would prefer not to have Naked Necks and we will do our best to remove them from your order. We hope you are enjoying your little ones!
“Ordered 6 Fun and Funky eggs in May 2019. I was sent 8 eggs. One had a very small crack in it so I incubated 7 of the eggs in my Brinsea incubator. Only one egg out of the 7 hatched!! I believe she is a bantam Easter egger. She hatched out of a tiny white egg, but she looks like an Easter egger and she lays a tiny blue egg. She is the cutest and we love her!! But for only 1 egg out of 7 to hatch is a pretty terrible hatch rate. At least we got a hen! We cracked open the remaining eggs (after giving them a few extra days to hatch) and none of them were fertile.”

“I have been on pins and needles for more than 3 weeks (since ordering pretty much). And after 22 days we have sucessfully hatched 3 of our 6 FF eggs! one we lost pretty early and the other 2 I’m going to let sit one more day in hopes they’re just late bloomers. Truthfully, I’m just so satisfied with this hatch, especially being our first. Our family hatched 2 of the 3 most desired breeds. 10/10 recommend. We also ordered 1 SCEL (hatched) and 1 Olive egger(hatched). Neither barred rock made it all the way but we are happy chick tenders now”
Congratulations on hatching 3 out of the 6 Fun and Funky eggs, and we're crossing our fingers that the other 2 are just late bloomers. What an exciting and nerve-wracking experience for you. We understand the satisfaction you feel, especially as it's your first hatch. How exciting to have 2 of the 3 most desired breeds in your family now! Thank you again for recommending our hatching eggs. It means the world to us. If there's anything else we can assist you with, please feel free to reach out. Happy chick tending to you and your family!
“Mine all hatched! I had a 100% success rate! I ordered 2 olive eggers, 1 F&F, and assorted. I received an extra assorted egg so a total of 7 eggs. 6 of which hatched! And I live in New York! I received mine dead smack in the middle of cold front. My deliver man threw my package, too! The process was amazing and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. My kids learned so much!”
Deana, it is incredible that all of your eggs hatched and that you had a 100% success rate! To have six of them successfully hatch, especially during a cold front in New York, is truly impressive! We're sorry to hear about the rough handling of your package by the delivery person, but we're glad it didn't dampen your enthusiasm. It's heartwarming to know that the hatching process was amazing for you and that your kids had such a fantastic learning experience.
“Unfortunately, upon candling at 21 days, no eggs were fertile.
REVISED: I discovered that my incubator malfunctioned, so no one's fault, but my own. I still really like My Pet Chicken & their fantastic customer service.”

“Not sure of the breed but we purchased 6 eggs and they sent 7. We successfully hatched 6!! It was so cool to see this process and my children absolutely loved seeing our babies grow. Our naked neck frizzled girl is absolutely beautiful. She is white and black. Her name is Princess”
We are so happy that you and your children had such a great experience with our Hatching Eggs! The joy of watching the baby chicks hatch from the eggs that were so lovingly cared for by you and the children will be an everlasting memory for you all! We would love to see photos of your babies if you would like to share! Princess sounds absolutely divine!
