I was going to auction these , but you can have them for postage if you want .

If you turn the bator up enough , add some sausage , cheese , and a bagel , they'll hatch a nice breakfast sandwich

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

You are too sweet!

I've had that breed before though. Let me know how well they hatch for you. My hatch was a little scrambled.

Oh Steve I can't believe someone sent you that with no padding! Shameful!

Wow. That package was a bummer. I looked up some packing methods and I think I will go with the individually bubble wrapped and then bubble wrapped again and then filled in with newspaper method.

I live where it is very COLD now. Anyone have hints as to how to not get frozen eggs?

I sent some to New York from Texas Jan 2 and they did not freeze.

Thanks to Nava, and to happytxchick for the following shipping method. It works really well and y'all should ask for your egg orders to be packed this way, it really doesn't cost that much more to do it like this. Maybe $5 more for shipping due to the size of the box, but worth it.

30 eggs ready to go....

30 individually bubble wrapped eggs.

Six strips of 5 individually bubblewrapped eggs taped together in strips

Stood three strips up on end side by side and wrapped with big bubblewrap; twice

You can see how much padding space is left for packing peanuts

This method works really well. I hope it helps. Copy the link in your http:// box, save it to your favorites, and send it to who ever is shipping you eggs. Ask them if they can pack them this way. I was not offended when happytxchick did that very thing and have adopted it because it is superior to my old method.
