85% of eggs are 5K!?

It's been 3 weeks since the Egg event ended. In that time period I've hatched 81 eggs. Which means, I've collected 81 new eggs. Of those 81 eggs, 3 have been 10Km, ( 3.7%. A little low, but not out of normal variance range) but only 9 have been 2 Km. (11%)
A whopping 69 out of 81 have been 5Km. (85.1%)
This includes the last 9 in a row that I have collected are all 5Km.
I've gotten some good hatches, I just am seeing a proliferation of 5Km eggs.

Has anyone else seen a trend like this?

It seems to go in spurts for me. For the week after the Egg event I would say 80%+ of my eggs were 2km. I couldn't get anything else. My bag always had 7+ 2kms. Then I went on a run of 10kms and got 3-4 in quick succession.

This past week though has been all 5kms. I don't know but they seem to come in bunches - whatever the eggs may be.

People are hardwired to recognize patterns, when this isn't happening you probably wouldn't notice... but I assure you its just random.

I hate them too but at least two gave me Phanpy so I'm not as annoyed with them as usual.

I noticed the same exact thing before and after the event. Around like November after Halloween event the % changed heavily and i stopped receiving 2k and 10k eggs.

For a couple months I did not see a single 10k egg. This lasted until early this year when i finally got another 10k egg. Saw a couple more trickle in and then the egg event happened i bought a bunch of incubators and cleared my cache. I then got a ton of 10k and 2k eggs.

Then the same exact thing happened as OP near the end of the event i got 3-4 10k eggs and then they trickled in here and there since then. But now I am back to all 5k eggs again. What gives Niantic

I will not spend an incubator on a 5k egg anymore, the results are always disappointing.

Are people still hatching gen 2 starters from 5km eggs? If this is the case I don't mind getting 5km eggs.

Phanpy, Grimer, Porygon, Tangela, Gen 2 starters - I need more candies.

I have not heard of any Gen2 starters coming from eggs since the event.

It is the opposite for me. Before the event I got mostly 5km but now I get mostly 2km and I don't like it. I prefer 5km over 2km eggs...
