California - Northern

If I know the are going to a place that is particularly rough on eggs. Atlanta Georgia and Washington State are Notoriously bad. For regional inside CA I would not double box.

ok so if not double boxing i will just line the box with padding and put the eggs in bubble wrap like burritos/open end tubes, and then off they go. ok i think i got it. ive been shipping in cartons and some have been getting broken. i bubble wrap and place in carton then bubble wrap carton and into a box. im trying to find the best way possible because coming up i have some pretty valuable eggs that will be shipped. 

I use two types of bubble wrap. The small to wrap the eggs and the big bubble wrap to make a " pillow" around the eggs. I also use foam peanuts or peas to fill in the bottom, sides and top spaces.

I ran out of peanuts a couple of times and just happened to have a bag of foam pellets (peas) for re-stuffing bean bags. They make a mess for customers when un packing , but seem to work very well to cushion the eggs. Walmart has big bags of them and a little goes a long way. I also get packing used peanuts from my DH's work. Some businesses end up with lots of extra packing material.

I have the best results with shredded newspaper. I have used peanuts but they do not work as well for me.

Haha! Trisha when I got my Barnie eggs from you in the spring, you used the peas and let me tell you, my 18 month old had them EVERYWHERE!! It was like Christmas for him haha. Funny

Is there a thread on shipping chicks? Do we Californians have to have a live animal shipping permit? Someone was admiring one of my roo's. They are out of state and I thought I should learn about shipping the birds so I have more selling options. Hate for ALL the culled cockerels to end up in the pot. Some are quite nice!
