“This was my first time with a broody hen, so I thought I‚Äôd try hatching some eggs with the kids. We ordered 3. We got 4 and 3 of the 4 hatched. We were thrilled! The chicks are healthy and cute. Disappointed we didn‚Äôt get at least one naked neck in the bunch but will request some next round. Great experience all around!”
“I ordered 3 fun and funky eggs plus 3 mystery eggs. They sent 4 plus the 3 mystery eggs. 2 mystery eggs died pretty early in incubation. The other 5 eggs went into lockdown and 3 FFs hatched.
I got two cochin looking chicks and one that looks kind of like a silkie cochin type chick. They are soooo cute. I can't wait until their feathers come in to see if I got a frizzle!
I was kind of sad that I didn't get any naked necks though.”
“I ordered 3 fertile bantam eggs of a different assortment, and MPC threw in a F&F bantam egg as a freebie. Three of the 4 eggs made it to hatch alive and well, but sadly I messed up the humidity in my incubator and by the time I realized what was happening, two had died during hatch and my little F&F was close to meeting the same fate. Typically I don't help chicks but since I was able to establish it was a humidity issue, I helped the last chick. I was really sad to lose the chicks of the known breeds and, honestly, a little nervous about the F&F chick - funky isn't really my thing. The result is that I now have the sweetest, most gorgeous, pure white, smooth-feathered pullet that looks to be a surama-ameraucana or surama-easter egger cross (she has blue legs). Whatever she is, she's the tiniest little thing (maybe half the size of my other bantams) with a great personality, and I'm so happy to have her. I did run to the local hatchery to get her a couple buddies and they're all happy and healthy, but she's the supermodel of the group! A very unexpected, happy surprise.”
“I ordered 6 fun and funky and received 7. Six hatched... two are definitely naked necks and the rest are tbd. This is my first time hatching and it went great! But I honestly think my good quality incubator made all the difference. I was discouraged by some of the reviews at first, but the egg quality is great! If you want a better hatch rate, invest in a really good incubator. It‚Äôs worth the investment!”
“I ordered 12 Fun and Funky eggs and 3 Mystery eggs for the week of March 8th. I got them on the 16th and immediately put them in the prepared incubator like they suggested. They sent 2 extra! Out of 17 eggs I had to take 5 out due to cracks or non-development. At hatch only one of the mystery eggs hatched, and all the rest hatched. The only bummer out of this great experience is I was hoping for a bit of variety but all that hatched was naked necks. Every single one. I am neither here nor there over them, they all look pretty much the same. Like I said though, I ordered knowing there was no guarantee. Overall it was a great experience. I will probably order again some other time and try again. Can't wait to see how these little turkens look fully feathered. Thank you !!”
“I received 3 in the spring and 1 hatched. He is a tiny, friendly feather footed bantam. He is SUPER sweet, comes when called even as a youngen so clearly a smartie. He loves to snuggle and is SO PHOTOGENIC. He looks at the camera everytime!!! Love him, wouldn't trade him for anything.”
