Thats good news for me. The eggs were fertil. He has 7 chickens and he opened a few eggs before colelcting for me and he said theywere all fertile.
The shipping conditions were by ship. Beats going tru x rays , i think. Not sure how temperaturres were on that ship. But the box was very protected...
I bought some eggs on the mainland from a special national breed. It was his 1st time selling to the islands. the postal people also made some mistakes.
So instead of coming by plane it came by ship.
Normally its still a good way and decent time. Problem was package stayed in port for 6 days...
Yourwelcome.I was a bit torn between putting him down or let him try and recover. But i gave him a bit of attention and took care of him.

Want to thank everyone who helped me here. And who knows, maybe this will help others whenthey have the same situation.
