The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

The best way to ship eggs is to rap them in bubble wrap, and put Styrofoam popcorn in the box to allow them to move around when box is dropped or tossed. Mark box with Live hatching eggs.

Count me in. I'll find something else to hatch by then. Can't let those bators cool off too much

Yes I have and I pack like this. It is a great way to ship and it was part of an Easter Hatch several years ago.

I believe Cackle and Murray McMurray sell hatching eggs.

yep, ive posted on that thread! its great!

now, do you ship with that much padding on the bottom? I don't understand how the eggs stay in the center of the tube and don't slip...LOL I read the directions but I don't understand that part.
