Chat Thread for the New Crazy 24 hour Auction

Not really. A SBEL is a cross between an easter egger or any chicken that lays blue/green eggs to a commercial/hatchery leghorn. the leghorn puts the "super" in super blue egg layer (SBEL)

Ooh now I officially want to cross a purebred Ameraucana with a Leghorn!

Y'all might be interested in getting some of my Blue and Whites next time I auction them.

I have had eggs shipped to me like that.
Not sure they did that well.

The box may be oversize so incur extra charges.

Also the box wil be heavier to 'land harder'

Personally I would prefer 2 boxes.

I didn't think about it being oversized.

The best I can figure out, it would be nowhere near oversized. Not even close.

Well I just know that at my PO they would be grabbing for their rulers and adding up the dimensions to see if they could up the shipping cost to a more expensive category.

Would to combined weight/mass of the eggs cause more damage in transit? I know you pack well and are trying to save $$, but maybe 2 boxes would be better. NOTE: I have never shipped eggs and I probably shouldn't even throw my 2 cents worth in. I just wanted you to know I looked at your link.
