Where did u find those stickers?

ebay, search hatching egg stickers.

I told my Post Master that my box had hatching eggs in it. She did not know what to say, she called her supervisor to ask how to ship them and they asked what to do if they hatched? lol 
So she charged me 50 something dollars to ship them express! I shipped them out on Sat. from AL. and she got them in ME on Monday! lol

I had to order new boxes so she won't charge me express shipping again. lol 

one employee of USPS did the same and asked me what if they hatch? I told them they were baby alligators and they would chew holes in the side of the box and probably bite someone. You can imagine the horrified look.

Quick question:
Is it better to ship eggs at the beginning of the week?
Have any of you had bad luck shipping Fridays or Saturdays?
It is my understanding that the mail is still moving on holidays and weekends.
Im asking because I have had a few people requesting a Monday shipment. Is there logic to that?

I just replaced some that got frozen in memphis for a few days...
I really really am coming to the conclusion that writing anything on the box causes slowed shipping/ damage.
The people having the BEST hatch rates didnt want anything on their box other than addresses.

My best hatch rates and least damaged boxes were shipped fridays...with no marking.

I think those chick stickers are going to sell out soon lol.

I know you two are probably kidding but: http://chickscope.beckman.uiuc.edu/resources/egg_to_chick/coloring.html

I am kidding, I just couldn't inject an egg with coloring. Blech. It seems...wrong.
