Strombergs....darn spellcheck!! Anyway, the goose eggs were packed very well...I guess goose eggs are just very difficult?

Thx for the warning about the green stuff!!!
I would have been concerned!!! I originally bought five sebastopol eggs. $125.00 plus shipping. They had a hard trip and none developed. The lady I bought from was very nice and included the two duck eggs in that shipment... She also replaced some of the goose eggs and I thought overnight delivery might give me some hatching results....that cost another hundred bucks! Still no hatching goose eggs... So... I have that amount invested in these two surviving eggs! I don't blame the lady I bought from. I've since researched and evidently goose eggs are really tough to successfully ship....I ordered 15 "show Quality" frizzle eggs from strum ergs.... They arrived in terrible shape! Very poor packaging! Out of 15.....I have FOUR developing.....sigh....

I've had 2 goose eggs shipped to me. The first made it to day 5. The other well.

I also got 2 more today.
