“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.”
“Bought the half dozen and received 7 eggs. Unfortunately, USPS left the box in front of my garage door in the hot sun rather than call me to pick them up at the office. Three hatched after 19 days which is what I was expecting. Two conformed to Silkie standards (buff and white) while the third had a yellow beak and feet. I reached out to MYP and they responded quickly! They contacted the breeder and she explained that painted silkie chicks do hatch with yellow characteristics, but they eventually darken over time. They are darkening after 5 weeks. But doesn't matter because they are SO CUTE. It was exciting to see the variety that hatched out! Can't wait to get more.”
“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”
We are terribly sorry that you had such a disappointing hatching experience with your eggs. 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 have reached out to you by separate communication to the email on your order and look forward to hearing back from you soon!
“After 7 days in the incubator there is only 1 viable egg! Very disappointed. I thought I would get at least 3. A lot of money just for 1 egg that’s if it hatches.”
“Eggs arrived in good condition and were well packed. We recieved 7 eggs rather than 6. After 10 days we candled: two eggs were not fertile and had zero development, one was fertile and had begun to develop, but had a blood line. We still have 4 eggs that seem to be developing nicely, fingers crossed!”
“Got 6 silkie eggs. 7 arrived.
Only 2 made it to lock down. 1 hatched.
Not sure what happened. I hatched these at the same time as the fun and funky set I got with the mystery eggs and these gave me a great hatch rate. 4 of 6 hatched and 1 turned out to be a silkie. I don't know why this set was not as successful but glad I got more eggs otherwise this one silkie would of been very sad and lonely.”
“Horrible!!! None of them hatched and sone arrived damaged and they would not replace them!!!!! Buyer beware!! Customer service is horrible! Don‚Äôt waste your money here”
