Are these eggs developing?

Shoot. I'm sorry to hear that. How many are left now?

I just had a weird one make it to lockdown & then looks like it quit.

A couple days ago it appeared to be underdeveloped, not taking up the full shell space, and part of the open area reminded me visually of when I see a dead one. But it was moving so I left it in. Today I see no movement and no internal pip (others from the same group are pipping externally and hatching right now) so I'm assuming it's gone. But I'll give it time & crack open the shell tomorrow if nothing's changed.

15 or 16 I believe. Started with 30, but they were all shipped eggs and were roughly handled :/ my mail lady threw them upside down on my porch!

Ours is too, I had a box very clearly labeled "hold for pickup" with my phone number on it, carrier put it on my porch in subfreezing temp and froze the whole lot before I could track down the box. I have had them deliver despite the label 3x now, and some goose eggs very clearly labeled as fragile hatching eggs live embryo were very clearly stepped on or driven over, as if targeted for destruction.

Wtf?! Some mail people are SO inconsiderate! My mail lady is just a jerk all around. She refuses to deliver my mail if my trash can is anywhere close to my mailbox, she marked our house as having a "bad dog" because our dog barked at her once. Ugh I wish she'd get fired!

That's awful! Ugh.

Couple ideas. In case they don't hold them at the PO as requested, maybe there's another address you could have them sent to, a relative or work address?

Another idea, instead of having it addressed to your house, you can give the sender your name and the post office address to write like so:

Firstname Lastname
Local Post Office Name
123 Main Ave
Town, ST 55555
555-555-5555
HOLD FOR PICKUP & CALL/TEXT # ABOVE

I'd check with the post office first and make sure that's ok to do. I don't see why it wouldn't be though.
