Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

I think it really depends how you're shipping them and how many you're shipping. I have never shipped myself, but have ordered shipped eggs before. They usually come USPS Priority mail. You can find pricing information on the USPS website, they have a cost calculation tool on there. Wrapping is very important, you will want to wrap them as well as you possibly can. The major key to shipping anything fragile is to make sure it can't rattle around in the box. A lot of people wrap the individual eggs in bubble wrap, then fill the box with more bubble wrap. A good test is to pack it until you think it's ok, then close the box and gently rock it back and forth. If nothing moves, you should be good to tape it up.

If I remember right, there is a wrapping tutorial on here somewhere, just search for "shipping eggs" or "packing eggs" and you should be able to find something. Good luck.
