“I purchased 2 of the "Eggs for Education" packs because they were cheaper that way and gave me a better chance at a bigger variety..
I was expecting 12 eggs but received 14 so thank y'all for the extras, however 1 did arrive cracked and unusable, super sad but things happen.
My eggs were supposed to ship around March 27th & the email said I would receive communication if they were running late, which I did not, but they still arrived the 31st. I didn't receive any tracking info until the 29th- so no real harm but wanted to let others know in case they're obsessively watching their emails like I was.
They sent a paper inside with the breeds of chickens & their "codes or initials" which was cool except a few of mine were not on the paper and I had to go through and mark the ones I had myself and it got confusing. It would be really cool if they marked the paper for you showing what all you got.
I'm going to reach out to customer service and see if they can interpret some of them for me. Eggs are sitting for now and incubator is getting ready, too.
Eggs were packaged very nicely, not sure how the one was able to get cracked but again, it happens. Hopefully the rest hatch!
I wanted to share pictures but don't see the option”
“My girls and I were so excited for the educational pack of eggs after learning all about the life cycles of chickens and preparing for incubating or own set of eggs. Sadly only 2 out of our 6 eggs hatched which was a huge bummer. It appeared as though 3 were not fertilized and 1 just never hatched after 26 days in the incubator. I do appreciate how quickly and safely the eggs were shipped to us, but wish we could have had a little better success rate!”
We’re so sorry to hear that your hatch rate wasn’t what you had hoped for—we know how exciting (and sometimes unpredictable) the incubation process can be. While shipped eggs can be more delicate due to factors outside of our control, we completely understand the disappointment of not having more chicks hatch, especially after all the learning and preparation you and your girls put into it.
We truly appreciate your kind words about the safe and quick shipping, and we’d love to support you however we can for any future hatches. If you ever have questions or need guidance, our team is always happy to help. Wishing you and your girls a wonderful chicken-keeping journey!

“I love My Pet Chicken. The chicks ive ordered over the years have been healthy and hearty. We have ordered many eggs and have always had great hatch rates. I tell all of my fowl friends about My Pet Chicken!”
Thank you for taking the time to review our hatching eggs! It is such an exciting adventure! Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns and take a peek at our Incubation Guide for helpful hints! We hope you have a great hatch!
So happy to hear everything is going well with the hatching eggs so far! Such an exciting time waiting for the little ones. Happy hatching to you and the kids!
“Very easy, smooth process - from customer service (answering the many questions I had), to ordering, to fast delivery, to the care in packing the eggs, to answering questions afterwards. Highly recommend! They even sent 3 extra eggs! The only negative was that I did NOT receive any notice that the eggs had shipped until AFTER they were already delivered. Would have helped me be better prepared with the incubator. This was my first year hatching chickens, so it was a learning process. We successfully hatched 5 chickens!”
Thank you Erin for your review of your Eggs for Education Hatching Eggs. We are so sorry that there was a delay in getting you the tracking information, but we glad that the eggs had a smooth delivery. It is wonderful that your first year of hatching eggs was so successful!
“We had 7 of 14 hatches. I don't think our blue eggs were fertilized as we never saw any change in them. We loved the variety and they all found good homes after spending two weeks in a brooder box in our classroom.”
