LOL! Are you trying to give me a heart attack? I already had to go buy a new incubator for 2 sets of eggs that came today, LOL! I SHOULD get my relay tomorrow, but I'm half afraid to have eggs shipped until I know for sure it's working. :/

Ohhhh... what the hell... go ahead and send. I have room in the LG.

OMG! I am so sorry!!!

FWIW... this was my first time shipping eggs too and I hope mine fared better. But I did email the recipient and ask her how she wanted them packaged. Now I am even more nervous than I was....

Shipping air cell up really makes a huge difference

Evening everyone. Haven't yet had a chance to catch up on posts, as I AM FURIOUS!!!!! I got eggs in today from papabrooder and from someone on a rare breed site. Of course papa's were packed wonderfully. As soon as I saw the other box I knew there was going to be trouble. Egg was all over the OUTSIDE of the SECOND BOX!

Now, she had messaged me to say she had sent 6 extras and that sometimes it didn't turn out to pack that many, but she HAD TAPED THEM WELL. So...18 eggs wrapped in napkins. Placed in a carton. Carton taped all the way around. It is obvious that the eggs broke when she taped the carton that tight. Carton placed on its back diagonally to barely fit in the box. Piece of newspaper on top and bottom. That box was taped shut and placed in another box the same size.

I have pics. Of the 18, nine were okay, but covered in egg goop and I wiped them clean with a wet cloth, but am out of oxine to clean them with. I'm hoping they don't have any bacteria to ruin them or papa's eggs in the incubator with them. One egg had a hole in the bottom, but the membrane was intact so we candle waxed it hoping it might make it. The other 8 were SMUSHED FLAT!!!!!

Yes, I paid for a dozen. Yes, she sent extras. But I'm now afraid I will have trouble with bacteria and from horrible air cells since they shipped sideways on the 9 that are okay. I'm not sure if I should email her and tell her or if I should notify the site manager to tell them. Should I leave it alone? Do I need to clean these eggs with something else before they go in with Papabrooder's?

Here are pics...


Carton when I opened the box. The paper was all soaked around it. All the eggs around the tape end were broken.

Mushy mess.

Flat as a PANCAKE!

I would be pretty ****** if I paid for eggs and they were sent like this. I think you need to request your money back or at the very least get a new shipment of eggs packed properly! The extras does not matter, those eggs are nasty now and don't really have a fighting chance.
