Our Egg VS. Store-bought!

[CluckyJay]

I got a response from a lady I contacted.

Should I post the email?

She said she contacted someone in my area and if they cannot help with testing that she would personally find someone who could. She wants to know who asked about testing, if they are consumers and if they would be willing to pay a premium if the tests find something interesting. I don't know what that means, lol. Pay for the testing or buy future eggs?

She said "The test results would definitely be an investment to access to and additional price premium."

I don't know what she means, LOL.

Gorgeous egg!



I ship hatching eggs, muscovy duck and mix breed chickens. I recommend NOT using bubble wrap. All bubble-wrapped eggs I've received have horrible hatch rates. My theory is the plastic bubble wrap directly aginst the eggs deprives them of oxygen. I usually ship 5-6 eggs at a time. You can do a flat rate shippign box via USPS (regular post office) for a little under $12 (medium size box). I do a half egg carton with lid. I use one square dinner napkin per egg, unfolded, then wrap the egg & set blunt end up in the carton. I nestle the closed egg carton inside the box surrounded by plastic grocery sacks for padding. I've had good feedback on eggs arriving intact and high hatch rates. I don't tape the napkins or the egg carton since that causes extra egg jostling in unwrapping. I've received eggs surrounded by shredded newspaper, sawdust, and styrofoam peanuts.....so messy!!! The plastic grocery sacks are not messy, do a good job as a buffer, and are recyclabe. If you don't want to use though I suggest newspaper wadded up as your packing material to surround the egg carton.

Cool, thanks! I will try that when I get everyone's eggs ready to possibly sell.
