It really does seem to be all about the packaging... not that the post can't still scramble them if they try hard enough. I am going to try to only get eggs that detail how they package them ( that meets approval) or feedback that is immensely impressed and describes packaging to my approval. To pack eggs that well requires a good amount of effort and time. I was less picky with my last eggs and am lucky to have 2 developing and close to hatch. The Seramas I had shipped I knew would be well packaged and out of 24 I had 13 make it to day 18 and 9 hatched.
I do try to get my eggs locally and when I do I have amazing hatch rates and it is so much less stressful!
