Anybody had any luck with My Pet Chicken hatching eggs?

I believe there is a "incubating shipped eggs" thread on BYC somewhere. I'm sure someone on that thread has bought from MPC. I agree, they have some interesting eggs...but expensive! Also, I've read that Meyers supplies most of MPC's chicks.

I've heard that 2, I think they get their eggs elsewhere though.

It is definitely expensive. To order 2 ducklings will cost me well over $60. I've been looking to order day-old cayuga ducklings from MPC if I cannot get any locally because they're selling out quick! IF I have no luck this week, I shall attempt and let you know.

I’m currently incubating a “rainbow mix” from MPC.
This is my first hatching experience, but we’re only on day 5.
They’re in a Brinsea ex28, I will come back and report the success or failure.

Very interested in the results!

You should consider hatching your breed. It's less expensive vs. buying day old ducklings. Plus you'll learn a lot from that experience and it's rewarding.

It sounds fun but I'm nervous about hatching unless one of my hens could raise them. Hatching the egg seems so delicate.

I just made my order for 2 cayuga ducklings from MPC. $64.40 ($45 shipping) estimated delivery the week of July 6th.
Wish me luck!
