Sure, just look on page 4 of this thread or the following is quoted from our web site....
"We have extremely high hatch rates from our eggs here on the farm. Nonetheless, we make no guarantee concerning the hatchability of shipped eggs! Keep in mind that once the eggs have been shipped, their handling is entirely out of our control. Moreover, we are unable to control any incubation variables that may adversely effect your hatch rate. Therefore we can not guarantee the hatchability of the eggs you recieve. With that in mind, we will make every reasonable effort to insure that the eggs you purchase from us arrive to you as expected. We wrap each egg in bubble wrap, then place the eggs in a styrofoam egg carton. This is then wrapped with more bubble wrap or other packing material. Your eggs will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail."
The key is wrapping each egg individually and making sure that there is no room for movement in the box. I wrap the eggs in bubble wrap, then put them into a halved egg cartons (holds 6 eggs). I close the carton and seal it with tape, then wrap the entire carton in bubble wrap. They then fit ideally into the 6x6x7 USPS Priority Box, which you can get for free at the post office. I then fill the remaining space with more bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or air pouches. By using that size box, you can put two half cartons in there (i.e. one dozen eggs). You can actually ship 6 bantam eggs in that size box via priority mail for about $5 dollars. That doesn't include any packing material expense... tape, bubble wrap, packing peanuts. etc.
