Potentially Dumb Question

[Hozer]

I was talking to someone up here in Alaska about buying hatching eggs from the lower 48 States and she said she has a poor hatch rate with many detached (??) air cells.

Everything is air-freighted up here. I was wondering if it was a problem with the decompression of high altitude. Which leads me to the question...would it be worth the trouble to try to use an air tight shipping container?

I would think it was mostly rough handling.

There was a thread about the changing of altitude a while ago, I think it was a thread by BUSTER.
he was testing eggs that came from a different altitude.

He also tested various degrees of humidity when hatching, I believe the best hatches were from different humidity levels that are generally advised.

You can try search by the user name Buster and see if you can find anything - I didn't follow it much as I wasn't really into hatching more eggs at that time.
