Hi guys! I need your opinion, I am having eggs shipped from TN to NJ this weekend. Lows will be in the 20s during their travel. It took 2 days the last two times. Should I get a heat pack or just stick with the insulated box?

No I havent I always requested a heat pack in the outer box.  I hope yours will be fine!! look for really fine lines when you candle, sometimes you cant tell they froze and cracked until you candle!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for legbar pullets!! Gotta have a talk with those hens lol.


We only have a couple of inches but we have lots of drifts so they collect snow from all over the place and f  rom where they shovel the decks and driveway

It ain't much but they stay entertained for awhile lol.


I was reading something kind of scary about those hot hands heat packs getting super hot. They can get up to 163 degrees!! I had that egg shipment that were all duds and they were sent with a heat pack. I wondered if the eggs got too hot and it cooked them so to speak. So I looked up how hot they actually get- Here's the link:

So I've seen your links where the packs were on the outer edges and the eggs were inside a separate box. I think that looks good and safe but my pack was laying right on top of my eggs. Seeing how hot those packs get makes me wonder if we should be using them with eggs. But I know people use them all the time. ???

I know, not sure what they are thinking!  [COLOR=FF0000]they have all different sizes,  there is a huge difference if its 15 degrees or below and you put them in the outer box that has a air pocket.  and not in direct contact with inner box[/COLOR]

This it?
