My goal is to send the freshest eggs possible while also avoiding unsafe temperatures and unnecessary postal delays. If laying or the forecast changes, I’ll contact you before shipping. Once the package is accepted by the carrier, I’ll send your tracking number.

Hi [Customer Name],

I’m holding your [Breed] hatching egg shipment because the forecast along the route is currently [too hot/too cold/affected by severe weather].

I know waiting is disappointing, but sending during unsafe conditions could expose the eggs to damaging temperatures or extended postal delays. I will review the forecast again on [Review Date] and contact you with the next safe shipping opportunity.

Your order remains reserved. Thank you for understanding that this decision is being made to give your eggs the best possible start.

Hi [Customer Name],

I’m sorry to hear that some of your eggs arrived damaged. I know how disappointing that is.

Please send me the following so I can document what happened and determine the next step under my shipping policy:

• A photo of the outside of the box
• A photo of the shipping label
• Photos of the packaging and damaged eggs
• The number of eggs that were cracked or broken

Please keep the box and all packaging until I let you know whether the carrier requires anything further. Once I receive the photos, I’ll review them and respond according to the policy provided with your order.

Thank you for contacting me promptly.

Hi [Customer Name],

I want you to know what to expect before purchasing shipped hatching eggs. I carefully select and pack eggs from my breeding flock, but I cannot guarantee how many will hatch after they leave my care.

Hatchability can be affected by fertility, weather, postal handling, transit time, air-cell damage, storage, incubator accuracy, humidity, turning, and other conditions outside a breeder’s control. A fertile egg at the farm may not remain viable after shipping.

My current sales and replacement policy is: [Insert Farm Policy]

Please review that policy before purchasing, and feel free to ask questions. I want you to make an informed decision and be prepared for the additional uncertainty that comes with shipped eggs.

Hi [Customer Name],

Your [Breed] eggs should have reached their expected hatch window, and I wanted to check in. How did your hatch go?

If you’re willing to share, I’d love to know how many eggs developed and how many chicks hatched. That information helps me monitor my breeding pens and packing process. Please remember that development and hatch results can also be affected by shipping and incubation conditions.

I hope you have healthy new hatchlings keeping you busy!

Hi [Customer Name],

Thank you for choosing [Farm Name]. If you have a moment, would you leave an honest review on my Hatching Egg Directory listing?

Your review can help another poultry keeper know what to expect when choosing a breeder. You’re welcome to mention communication, packaging, shipping, egg condition on arrival, or your overall experience. Because hatch results depend on many factors, your experience is useful whether or not every egg hatched.
