A Beginners First Experience with Shipped Eggs (Picture Heavy!)

[Bridebeliever]

So this is because shipping is just so hard on eggs? I would love to see you continue this post with eggs that haven't been shipped! I really want to incubate but I'm nervous to go there...especially if the eggs I get are expensive.

Thanks Sally! Yes, I should spend some time there! I know where to find it.
