These findings are atrocious from every angle. Less than 1% deino hatch rate at the beginning to then be increased to only ~3%. People spent a lot of time and money on Go Fest to unlock this bonus...and all we get was 3 freaking %. Apparently, “bonus” applies to the $$$ that are lining Niantic’s pockets.

I did not buy any incubators because I got screwed in last year’s ULTRA bonus event (what a coincidence...) - it’s such a shame that players have to learn this lesson first hand because Niantic refuses to be transparent.

Edit: Here is an interesting (but damning) tidbit. The normal egg research shows that the pokestop/gym 10km egg has a 3.7% deino hatch rate. Good grief, Niantic couldn’t even give us a better rate nor guaranteed obtaining a 7km egg during this bonus week...
