Does anyone know (by experience or through some other source) whether eggs transported in an airplane can still be incubated? My main concern is the x-ray machines, I don't know if they will kill the embryo or cause congenital problems (there's a reason pregnant women aren't usually x-rayed...). I'm asking these questions because where I live there's limited availability of breeds, and I'm planning on buying orpington eggs in mainland Europe to incubate them, and the only way to transport the eggs in less than a week is by plane. Another thing: I can't transport them in hand luggage, so they will have to be transported in the cargo hold. Are the temperatures there high enough for the eggs to survive? (I assume they are, because some animals are transported there)
