    A great method for shipping hatching eggs!

    I’m writing this post for anyone who ships eggs who wants a good method for packaging their eggs. I haven’t ever shipped eggs.

    Has anyone ever had chicks arrive at their post office later in the day? I’m getting a little nervous. My chicks from cackle shipped Monday, and this morning I did not receive a call early in the AM like previous times. So I went over there to check in person and they weren’t there. My shipping...

    Viability of cross country shipping?

    I found a breeder with very good looking white shamos in the Japan Yahoo auction. It fits a standard to my liking. Doing a Google search says shipping from Japan to Miami, FL may be from 18-25 days. I know eggs can survive some refrigeration and remain viable, but is the shipping going to screw...

    Any advice for buying hatching eggs?

    I'm looking in to buying some hatching eggs, but it's my first time! I'm genuinely curious to know how these sellers know that the eggs are fertilized. 🤔 Or are they just assuming?
