“I wouldn’t bother wasting the money. Not a single egg I ordered was even fertilized. A waste of time and money and super disappointing because I was very excited!”
Sorry to hear about your disappointment—hatching shipped eggs can definitely be an emotional process early on.
Our records show your eggs were delivered on April 16, so at the time of this review you would only be on about day 4 of incubation. At this stage, it’s far too early to assess fertility or development. With shipped eggs especially, visible signs typically don’t appear until around days 7–10 or later, and early handling can also affect incubation stability.
We’ve reached out to you directly via email and would be happy to help walk through what to expect as your hatch progresses. There’s still a long way to go in the incubation window, and we’re here if you need support along the way.
We’re really sorry your hatch was disappointing. We know how much hope goes into every hatching project, and it’s tough when things don’t turn out as expected. Hatch rates can be affected by a variety of factors, including how eggs are handled in transit, which is unfortunately outside our control.
Though the hatching eggs themselves may be very similar, eggshell color doesn’t reflect the future laying color since these come from multi-generational breeding pens.
We’ve reached out to you directly and look forward to learning more details about your hatch.
We’re so sorry to hear that your hatch didn’t go as hoped—we know how disappointing that can be. We're glad you reached out, and we’re happy we can arrange a reshipment for you under our Hatch Rate Guarantee. We hope your next hatch is a successful one and look forward to sending your replacement eggs soon!
“I received this as a replacement batch. I don’t receive my eggs until 6 days after they shipped. The package sat at the hub in a near by city for 3 days. When they arrived 4 eggs were broken. I placed the remaining eggs in the incubator and waited. I got absolutely nothing once again.”
We sincerely apologize for the disappointing hatching experience you had with both your original shipment and the reshipment of eggs. We completely understand how frustrating it is to invest time and money into hatching eggs, only to be let down when eggs are broken or chicks do not come out of their shells. We have reached out to you through a separate communication to discuss potential solutions, and we eagerly await your response. Thank you for your understanding.
“Sad to say I ordered an assortment of hatching eggs(10 eggs).They have all been incubated passed the hatch date now. None have hatched.
The ones you can candle, either aren’t fertilized or didn’t develop. I was really looking forward to these.”
We are so sorry to hear that you had an unsuccessful hatch. Thank you for seeing your hatch all the way through to the end, despite no eggs hatching.

We are reaching out to you directly regarding this matter and look forward to finding a solution.
“My first time incubating eggs and it was a fantastic experience! I ordered 10 eggs and received 11. Eggs arrived in superb condition. We had a 70% hatch rate! 8 out of the 11 hatched and the chicks are healthy and happy.”
