Years later I still haven't gotten my money back from them. I've got half a dozen emails of him saying he was getting a check in the mail that day and finally he just stopped writing back to me. Do business with them at your own risk.

Got of the phone with Robbie and my eggs are on there way

WOW he is full of knowledge great guy very patient .

He told me my check was on the way probably 3-5 times. I still have yet to see any check. Hopefully it's actually true with your eggs! =)

What kind of eggs did you buy?

I ordered the xl meat class browns and A&M whites . Eggs came packed so well i think we could of kicked the box around and they would not break. He sent extras and only had two with hairline cracks not bad for over a hundred eggs .I let them sit for 24 hrs in the bator off ofcourse .Cant wait

I order 50 eggs from James Marie and sent him a check on 3/16/15. He said the eggs would be delivered 4th week of March or 1st week of April. He cashed my check 3 days after I sent it.
I didn't hear anything from him so I called 1st week of April and he said he's backed up and that it'll be sent them 2nd week. I waited and called him again. He said it's going out 4/30. I saw nothing in the mail and no text from him that it was sent so I called him again on 5/1. This time he said that it went out and something was wrong with his computer unable to text the buyers that their eggs are sent. I also asked when the eggs were packed and he said they were packed Sunday 4/26. I received a text 4/30 that the eggs were sent. As of today 5/4/15 the eggs have not arrived. The eggs are on route but I have no confidence that they will hatch due to the fact that it was packed on 4/26. I don't recommend buying eggs from this hatchery. He's full of excuses. I take this as a learning experience.
BUYERS BEWARE!!!!! DON'T BUY FROM JAMES MARIE FARMS.

Others have had slow shipping times but no need to bash on them or troll them, just because you are impatient doesn't mean they are a terrible hatchery... God forbid you get your eggs and want them to hatch the next day... Calm yourself and im sure they will send them.

I have never order any eggs from you but I am a farmer to I know how it is man some of these people live in the city but hey we don't bash were you work or your lifestyle so why one the world would you bash a fellow farmer that is just doing the best he can do to get your eggs to you as fast as possible I mean if the post office dose loses your order I got confidence that he will work with you just like any other farmer would well I would order off him even if you bash his operation but I do here all the good things he dose and all the happy customers he has so just leave it at your eggs got lost in the mail which ant his fault at all

Just want to put down my experience with James Marrie Farm. Before I put in my order, I did a lot of research and found that James Marie Farm had a mixed review, some have bad experience some have good experience but I don’t find any other reliable source so I finally take my chance to order from JMF.
I understand that I have to wait for 4 weeks. I am ok with that but I did not get my order on time as he estimate instead it was delay for two weeks so it took a total of 6 week before I actually get the eggs from him (I know thing could happen). I was very happy until three weeks later I was disappoint big time. I email JMF just to let him know that his eggs is a total fail. I bought 250 eggs and only hatched 18 total.
You might said I did it wrong!!!! but let me tell you more about me. I build my own incubator that hatched my other line of coturnix like popcorn, but with JMF’s eggs it is a total fail. Both me I my brother incubate JMF’s egg in three different incubator, using the Farm Innovators Model 4250 Digital Circulated Air Incubator with Automatic Egg Turner and the one that I build it myself that normally hatch 70% or more.
On day 14 my brother report to me that he had 3 hatched so I was very excited and lock down my as soon as I got home from work, we both wait and wait until day 19 nothing happen. We decided to candle the egg, we are total disappoint after found that almost 200 eggs were not develop of any kind. They were all liquid when you shake it by your ear you can hear the liquid water sound inside the egg. We crash all the one that sound and proof that all liquid no development. We put the rest back to the incubator and wait and wait. My brother will get one or two a day. I got nothing, finally on day 21 my hatched out two chick and day 22 another batch of 6 hatched. All in all I got only 8 and my brother got 10 a total of 18 out of 250.
On May 23, 2017, I report to JMF and Robby immediately offer me a replacement eggs if I paid for the form and the shipping cost about $58. I think twice do I want to waste another $60 to try again, after a long discuss with my brother we decide to do it again. So I asked Robby to send me the payment request, he immediately reply and I made the payment. All this happened within two hours and about 6-8 email exchanged, but after I paid the drama begin!!!! my last email asked Robby a simple question when do I expect to get the replacement eggs? He never…never reply my email, over a week later on the 6/2/17 I send him another email to ask him when is the replacement egg schedule to be ship. He never reply….. I wait and wait….I week later on 06/08/17 I call him. He told me it was schedule to ship today, I should get them on 6/10/17, if he can’t do it later on Thursday the 8th, he will make sure it come out on Monday morning the12th. If I don’t see it on Saturday the 10th then I should get then on Wednesday the 14th. I wait until Saturday no egg show up but patient and wait again until end of Wednesday the 14th. I send him an email asking has him ship the eggs yet. He never reply……On 06/20/17 I call him and he said “sorry” he ran out of shipping form, he will ship the next day, I should get it no later than Friday the 23th. But I never get them….I call him again and he said the supplier screw up they send him the wrong form….same story go on I should get it Saturday…The third time he said due to the bad weather they have to move thousand of bird to higher ground.
After the third excuse, I starting to wonder the man is full of excuse should I trust him?????? I ask him do you plan to send the replacement egg? He said YES… big yes with confident. A week later he still not ship, I call him this time he said he will check and give me a call right back. He never call… I call again, the same story go on, he full of confident that he will make sure it send out the next Monday. By the following week Wednesday no egg, I wait one more day on Thursday I call him what happen to the replacement egg. He realized he have not yet ship and try to say the same thing again. I just told him I want my money back. I was very lucky to get my shipping cost of $58 back. However, I lost $150 to buy 250 junk eggs from him and only get 18 chick out of the 250 eggs.
Six week later, the chick growth to under 8 oz, my other line of coturnix will easily make it to 8 oz by week number 6. As of right now, it is already on the week number 8, I still have two white and one gold from him that is not lay or crow. I am sure they are female but never lay egg yet. Robby might be the pro but his quail is not pro, my quail will lay at 6 week and start crow at week number 5.
All in all, I will say do business with James Marie Farm at your own risk…..the man is full of excuse!!!
