I gotta say, I DO like your packaging - I didn't have a single egg cracked.
I sent some hatching eggs to a friend in Colorado wrapped like you wrap yours, and she said every single one made it with pretty good air sacs and no hairline cracks. Neat trick, Fat Daddy.

you must share...
it's a BYC requirement... (JUST KIDDING)

I highly doubt I will be shipping any eggs...within the next 10 years,BUT
I am curious now and need to know this trick!

I will be joining your mailing list once I get things situated. I've got a mental picture in my mind of how I want things organized. Its aggravating at times

I just went and picked up 30 Tpost 7ft long,tomorrow I will go pick up 3rolls of 6ft x 100 wire. This should get me half way.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ignore your post, just missed it I guess. It's really not anything more than be'n kinda "Cheap"! The foam shippers are great but kinda pricey once you add the cost of them plus their shipping of them from the supplier to you. If you look for cheap Walmart or dollar store, new born disposable diapers. You can get 40ish for $5... that's cheaper than bubble wrap and works much better... I wrap every egg tight in a diaper and place them point end down in a shallow bed of shredded paper... I can get 25 wrapped eggs in a large flat rate shipper. Then pack more shredded paper on all sides tight... works like a charm so far! Now I hope I ain't jinxed myself talk'n all big! ;-)
