Thank you so much @RainForestBird !
My shipped eggs arrived today. They were packaged beautifully.

Unfortunately, USPS not only took them on a scenic route, but they also bounced them about a bit. Even though they only had to cross one state line, it took them four days to get here. They were shipped priority so I was able to "track" them online. They were in the next town over, and were sent out for delivery, only to be returned to the distribution center last night!
I was sent 6 serama and 8 Japanese bantam buff black tail eggs. Two of the JBT were cracked so I'm down to 6 of each. They were both fertilized. Of the remaining dozen, 5 have detached air cells.

Because of the delay and the warm weather both here in Texas and in Arizona, I decided to forgo letting them sit out and put them, fat side up in the incubator. I won't turn them until around day 7 because of detached air cells.
Here are some pictures of how well they were packaged.

And one of the broken ones, showing fertilization.

Right now, they are in a Hova-Bator 1602N, but I have a Brinsea mini being delivered Tuesday, that I plan on switching them to.
Sweet! All of these hatching threads has gotten me into hatching fever, and one of the Brahmas laid a double yolker which I was told I could incubate... :oops: hmmmm I just might :gig
