How TO bRING BACK EGGS FROM THE US.

Permits take time, start applying now. You don't want to mess with the Feds right now about air security!

Don't forget that all carry-on luggage is X-rayed now, and that could kill the embryos.

Frankly, I think it will be far more trouble then it's worth. But if you do decide to go ahead, stay legal and good luck!

Even if they allowed you to take that much liquid on you can't hold them the entire time. Everything must be secured under the seat or in the overhead during take off and landing. Doubtful they'd allow it at all though. Also they will undo your packaging to inspect the eggs and they may not get packaged back exactly the same. You'd probably have an easier time getting them to allow chicks. Many airlines allow carry on of small animals, it's done all the time for the rodent shows, or you could bring a pair of larger chickens with you in the proper carrier stored seperately from people like they would do if you were flying with your dog. However when crossing international boundaries you will have even more problems with customs and possibly quarantine requirements taking a live animal rather than eggs with you. Oddly it's easier to ship eggs than it is to take them with you on a plane.
