Our Fly babies - Quality of Hatching eggs and experience with them

[ronott1]

I ordered Partridge Penedesenca eggs from Our Fly Babies! They sent a couple extra Wheaten Pene eggs too.

The package was not packed well:



Four were broken or cracked in shipping.







For Reference, this is how they should be packed:

un acceptable to be honest Ron.
They should know better than that if they ship eggs for a living. You can get bubble wrap so cheap on ebay anymore. Just plain wrong.
with penedesenca eggs which are hard to hatch anyways I am wishing you the best

Our fly babies looks like our thrown babies

I sent them an email yesterday at about 10 am. No response yet. I do not expect any of the to hatch. It is very sad and frustrating.

I paid for those eggs in January and have wanted them since last Fall. I have had the same frustration with a couple of breeders. It is almost like they do not care or they are dis honest--expecting us to believe that the Post Office did this to the eggs. Not this time! I bet they have a large number of broken eggs.

I would think dishonest in this case or they are just not all there

I've only received shipped eggs once - 3 weeks ago. Each egg was wrapped in a huge sheet of bubble wrap. They were then placed, air cell up, inside a box and surrounded by more bubble wrap. Same box yours were shipped in. Every single egg arrived intact and are all developing nicely. I am shocked at the way these were packed and shipped. (Although it does look like the side of the box has been bashed in - somehow...)

Yes, the one side as dented, but that would not have happened with double boxing. I have had boxes with worse damage and they were fine.

packages need to be able to drop form a conveyer belt into a bin and then be able to take another package dropping on it.

Watch the skyline video in the pdf above--that kind of packing can take a lot of abuse.

I hope you have a good hatch!

I just checked the 10 eggs that have been incubating for two days and no seepers! I will check them again tomorrow. I hate it when the start oozing on the egg turner...

Bob from Our Fly Babies sent me an email. Good news, they are going to start packing differently!

I was offered more eggs or a partial refund. I am getting more eggs of course!

I will report back on the new packing procedure!

I agree! The eggs I got from MPC were all individually bubble wrapped... They looked great. Sadly only one of 12 hatched... eggs are too risky for me. With live chicks they will totally replace but eggs you only get partial refund or replace with eggs that may have same hatch rate.
