Post office lost eggs/ have them now will they still be good?

[Love my Critters!]

I ordered some eggs and they were sent 2 day express. They were due to be here on 1-29. I am going to pick them up today 2-3. Do you think they will still be good. I will try them if there is a chance. I hate that good eggs and 30 bucks were waisted. Makes me soooo mad

The tracking even said they were coming to my house at 7pm and left notices. I was home and never got notices. Now my package has magically appeared at the post office. Go figure...
Thanks

let them sit in an egg carton for 12-24 hours then put them in. I think they will still be ok. Give them a chance.

I would try for sure! Ive been doing experiments on all sorts of eggs

porous eggs
eggs that sat for 3 weeks
frozen eggs
cracked eggs etc..My bator is full of weirdness right now!

They're a little older but age-wise should still be viable. Hopefully they didn't freeze during the 5 days they were missing. I'd definitely still try them. Good luck!

give them a try

There under 14 days old so most should hatch assuming nothing bad happened.

Thank you for the replies, I am going to try them. I don't think they would have frozen because they were in the post office.

Very interesting! Are you posting about it? I'd like to keep updated on that!

As for initial post.... I would still try them. How late are they getting there? Eggs are good for quite some time. I would do as earlier suggested, and let them sit in the cartons for a day or so. Let them settle and get to room temp. Then put them in the bator and keep us posted on what happens!

Good Luck with your hatch and Let us know what the outcome is.

I hate the Post Office.
Long story but Malay eggs, most broke and they said I had done it when I opened them. I was at the PO opening them and I knew some were broke because there was yolk on the OUTSIDE of the box. too bad they were mostly broke and clerk was even shocked. But you know I broke them when I opened them. Whatever! I have feather hands around eggs, especially Malay eggs!
