Sage advice #1___ Don't buy shipped eggs at all if you can possibly avoid it. USPS (the only carrier licensed to handle eggs or live birds, BTW) likes to play football with them, whether they're clearly marked or not.

Sage advice #2___ If you feel you must have eggs shipped, call the seller and specify how you want the eggs packed. If the seller balks, buy your eggs elsewhere.

Sage advice #3___Candle the eggs before you set them. Detached air cells are not uncommon in shipped eggs.

Sage advice #4___ Read & understand Sally's various articles on the first page of this thread, or at the bottom of each of her posts, before you consider having eggs shipped.

Letting shipped eggs settle for 24 hours is a good practice

Best of luck, and welcome to the thread.  

Ugh

Darn HAL...got me all over fired up and clearly over zealous. I did read Sally's 101...a few times. Believe it or not, it is very difficult to find good breeders (at least of what we want), that have good diversity, near us here. I am in a very unique place in the suburbs of Los Angeles. We are zoned for chickens, roosters included. Not many can say that here. If any of you have kept up with poor @Jessimom and her story, but, she is on 2 acres (also super unusual for the burbs here!) and not zoned for chickens. I was/am hoping to hatch some nice chicks, from good stock, to liven things up around here. I scoured clubs and the Southern California thread with no luck. Shipped eggs seemed to be my only option. Sigh... Maybe my coffee that's ready will help.
