Why on Earth are my eggs going north?

One time I sent a package to my son in Bozeman 10 hrs east of us. They go first Billings, further east 2hrs, to be sorted. Then went west to be delivered. When the package was in Bozeman, the truck broke down. They sent the truck full of mail, 2 hrs west to be repaired in Dillon MT. For one day. Then the mail went back 4hrs east to Billings to be sorted again. Then back 2 hrs to finally be delivered.

I don't normally watch the delivery route unless something takes an unusually long time to arrive. You'd think they'd have alternate routes to go around problem areas during certain times of year.

It could be worse.

I don't know the for sure answer either, but in every other scenario you want to bring frozen or near frozen beings back up to "normal body temperature" very gradually. I would not put those eggs in the incubator until they've warmed up to room temperature.

I agree 100%.
