Contrastphoto--you mean the eggs were placed (unwrapped) in an egg carton, then the carton was wrapped in TP? Or, were the eggs wrapped in TP before placing in the carton? I guess I need a nap. Either way, I think you got a surprisingly good hatch rate.
The best packing job--for the eggs I've received--consisted of wrapping each egg in bubble wrap, placing those eggs in a box, then putting that box inside a larger box filled with crumpled newspaper. She had different labels on the box, nice big 8x10 sized that said things like, "Live Embryos, Do Not X-Ray", "Fragile, Hatching Eggs". All 8 eggs developed, but only 6 hatched....using a LG incubator, Brinsea digital thermometer + water weasel, wet bulb/dry bulb hygrometer, no fan, no turner. Those eggs came from Indiana, btw.
The absolute worst job was where the person wanted somebody to do a test hatch. It had to have been his first time packing anything. Wrapping an egg in a paper towel and placing those in a box only leads to a messy box of broken eggs. Fortunately, the eggs were free to begin with and I was only out the cost of postage from GA.
