Shipping eggs for eating in very hot weather?

[saraem18]

Hi, my hens just started laying and I want to send some to my friend who lives in California which is across the country from me. It has been in the 90's here and the same for her. Is it safe to ship them with 2 day shipping with it being so hot? They are not fertile and will be for eating. I only get 2-3 a day so they will be between 3 days to freshly laid when I ship them.

Would I need some sort of ice packs? Would they cook being so hot?

Thanks!

No ice pack needed. The eggs will be fine. Try to ship eggs with bloom on them , preferred. Meaning, avoid washing them. You can keep eggs on counter for 2 weeks without refrigeration and many peeps do even longer.
I understand your desire to share your eggs with friend,,, It is obviously not for economic reasons.

Clear (infertile) eggs in hatchery incubators are good to use for cakes, pies, quiches & baking for up to a week or more after being in an incubator at approximately 100 degrees Fahrenheit. A few days @ 90 degrees will not adversely affect an egg with a sound shell.

Besides there is a thing called a balut egg that is nothing but a baby duck still in the egg about two weeks to 10 days prior to hatching that is boiled then eaten in its natural state.

Balut can also be chicken eggs...not just duck although duck is more popular.

I'm pretty sure there is a Vons nearby her if you're that worried and willing to ship her eggs...... probably on sale too.
