I bought shipping eggs sharing how it was shipped, would you show me how yours got shipped?

When I ship eggs it's always; crumpled paper in the bottom, eggs are individually wrapped in bubble wrap and then more paper. Stored pointy side down in the box. Then more paper packed around them until the box is full and doesn't shake. If I can I put it in another box with more paper between the two boxes.

I've gotten eggs shipped to me in similar conditions, but the worst I got was someone wrapped the eggs in bubble wrap, sort of tossed them loose in a bubble wrap bag, then put some crumpled paper above and below that. They were not secure at all and were rolling around in the bag for the trip. Very disappointed in those. One was cracked on arrival, one was very porous and small (so we didn't set that one cause we only had room for 8) and of the rest only 3/8 hatched in a high end automatic incubator. :T Not the worst results but not thrilling.

Lady on Ebay did the same thing. Wrapped them in bubble wrap and tossed them in the box to roll around like marbles...she sells Seramas and Appenzaller Spitzhaubens. Dislodged air-cells, scrambled yolks, no cracked shells. Embryos grew and quit before 10 days.

How I ship

I ordered 3 more shipments from diff venders because my last order, all chicks in aircells of eggs, yellow incubator from China conked out! I lost the whole lot. I also ordered another incubator, not a yellow one though. The incubator was due on Friday when all my eggs were here, but now they say it will be here Mon. the 2nd. They are currently in home made incubators.

Here are my round 2 eggs...
A lady 2 states away I ordered 12, she sent 16 but 2 were cracked they were barnyard.

She had them wrapped and in shreaded newspaper. All but one had a loose aircell. I think half of those are developing, the others the aircell never came back. I kept them pointy end down.



I ordered another set of blue marans from the same guy, 5, he shipped them one state over nice aircells. They are pulled out of foam so you could see them.

And a batch of eggs from Meyer. From OH, 39 eggs (3 free LO) all eggs but 2 had great aircells, and only one very lightly cracked egg, (nail polished it)

I ship mine double boxed, individually wrapped in bubble wrap..then securely wrapped in a bundle and packed in a smaller box. Then smaller box packed in a larger box with padding..
I’ve gotten my best hatch rates from shipped eggs that have been shipped like that by far..
Most broken eggs have always come from eggs shipped in cartons

Gotta ask ahead of time. One batch I got, the guy sent them pointed end up. Now I communicate better.

Had one lot (of 12) sent in a carton each egg placed on top of cotton wool with cotton wool on top. Shipped in a single box. 1 was cracked upon receiving them. 7 made it to lockdown 5 hatched.

2nd lot (of 12) was sent in a foam egg holder but pointy end up . 4 made it to lock down 2 hatched 1 died... Ended up with the 1 strong chick.

I have only order three different time (from eBay different people.). First set came in foam like that the eggs were down inside th foam and a small thin pice was on he top and bottom (6 eggs three scrambled and he others stopped by day 20)

Second set was bubbled wrapped put into egg cartons tapped clear around the egg carton and pack tight in the box, all were intact including he air cells. Only one is developing so far made it to day 14... out of 14

Third set was bubbled wrapped and placed into the box, not snug but rolled around some. All air cells were detached some completely others just a little.... Out of 12 eggs one was cracked and five have mad it to day 7 of incubation.

Which I would have taken pictures but never thought about it.
