Yes and none hatched out of 12 I bought from one buyer. I swear the hen that laid them was a pullett, the eggs had a film over them (only way i can explain). Another batch i bought i got 3 out of 24. My experience of ebay eggs is negative. I bought eggs from a poultry auction and had a much better hatch rate for the same cost as the postage. I have only lost 10 out of 36 . I would rather go to the auction and buy exactly the birds i want that make it to hatching and grow well. (thats only my opinion though).

The best posted and cared for eggs from ebay were my rubber ones. The post man wrapped them up thinking they were real... Fragile was plastered all over with a note saying they had repackaged them as they were FRAGILE...lol

I buy from Ebay quite often, only once did I not have any hatch. I mean, none at all. They were blue laced red wyandotte bantams. A friend of mine bought some form the same seller, adn when I told her what happened, she said hers never hatched either. Other than that, I have had liek 80% success rate and some very nice looking birds. One hatch I won 4 cochin eggs, three hatched and they were all PULLETS.
