Specifically, the 'Intense Egg Color Assortment'.
I'm not ready to do this yet, maybe next year, but I've been wondering about this one.
Has anybody gotten it?
How many eggs did you order?
What breeds and/or hybrids did you get?
Were they clearly marked like they say they are?

I'm just curious at this point. I'm dealing with my first broody right now, but I'm not in a position to let her raise chicks yet, so I'm gonna be putting her in a cage to break her. Thing is, next year, once everybody is established (I have three youngsters right now) and laying, I was thinking about getting eggs for a broody.
 
They also say they band the legs of chick before shipment so you know what is what. Not on my order though, and I have three out of seven chicks that are what I ordered.
I have contacted them though and I have 19 weeks from ship date to provide pictures and proof of the goof up. They will refund my money for the errors in breed and sex
 
I didn't do that one, I got All Aces. Good fertility, 13/14, especially for late fall when I got mine. Shipping snafu, they thought the week I wanted them was the only week I didn't want them, but they left me reschedule shipment at my convenience. Received 14 when I ordered a dozen. Labeled, but sloppily. I had several whose labels were not on the list anywhere or were so hard to read, I couldn't tell what they meant. Nice variety, two silkies, three australorps, three sex links, two partridge rock, two RIR and two variety that turned out to be an EE and a NN. 10/14 hatched, one was infertile, one I broke and two others just didn't hatch.

The 'assortment' I have listed above is a hatching egg assortment. :-D
I can't get a guarantee on sex or a wing or leg band. LOL :-D
