GOOD place to order hatching eggs

Since you are in VA, I must mention that VA requires eggs sellers that ship to the state undergo additional testing requirements. Contact your local extension service or state vet office for more info on those requirements.

I live in Va and have had eggs shipped to me from all over and vice verse as well. The post office I use is the one that ships live birds as well so they know all the regulations and I've never had to have any extra paper work or anyone that has sold to me.

Thanks for the info, I talked to the PO before getting into this and they informed me that there was no special regulations I send out eggs 2 and 3 times a week, There are 4 other post offices I use from time to time and they have never said anything either. I know of people that have shipped out chicks and older birds from the Post Office and they have to call the extension office to get permission to send them and all that good stuff and they have not had to have anything like that either so
