Yay got the incubator today with automatic egg Turner. Got to check out the egg turner and see if it still functions. The bator needs a little tlc but I have a fresh roll of duct handy. It came with a thermometer but I don't trust just one thermometer. So I guess I'm getting a new one and something for humidity this weekend. I wonder if I send a box with tons of packing supplies would it magically find it's way back to me some eggs in it?
 
Love all the links within that link I downloaded tons of pdfs last night. Ok serious experiment question don't laugh to hard. I'm either about to show my natural hair color or become a genius. Ok what's the perfect packer for eggs something soft and warm but still lets air in right? Well what about dog hair. I'm not
Talking about dirty dogs any with fleas but clean dog hair. You can stop laughing now. Seriously though it's no different than hugging your dog. It's soft and can be packed tightly to cushion eggs from bumps yet still allow air flow while insulting the eggs from cold weather. Would you try it? Why or why not
 
My concern would be bacteria. I think the concept has merit, but would be afraid something from the puppy would get into the egg and cause it to die.

I have been pleased with the bubblewrap and shreaded paper, so far.
 
Very nice packaging! By the way, I saw big rolls of bubblewrap at Lowes yesterday, made me think of you (Awwww LOL) and we got our ginormous box of bubblewrap at U-haul.

You would need a lot of Dog fur too....Cushions used to be stuffed with horse hair so maybe that would be good stuffing material or sheep wool.

Probably too expensive. With paper and bubble wrap, the cost should be about 1.50 to 2.00 per shipment.
