Shipping Of Hatching eggs

[Afrank]

So I'm new here and I'm wondering when having hatching eggs shipped, do you notice much difference in the hatch rates when having them shipped express vs priority? Is it worth the extra cash? Thanks all!

I'm in NW IL and a bit of a distance from where I think eggs are flown in from Des Moines IA.

Shipped eggs have a lower hatch rate period. About 50%

Ok, so you are telling me what I already thought, but just I'd throw it out there and see if anyone by chance had a better experience with express. I was thinking its just not worth the extra money cuz it's still being shipped and sooo many things we can't control. ***sigh***

Have you accessed your state thread to see if you can locate the desired eggs closer to home? It would be great to be able to drive and pick them up. Shipped eggs are indeed a crapshoot.
