The Great Egg Shipping Experiment!

Actually people do ship eggs in the summer too. I've been getting quite a bit lately haha. If you are NPIP certified, You just attach a copy of your NPIP certificate to the box containing the eggs and get a US Customs Declaration form from the post office and also attach it to your box.

That easy?

I'm not NPIP yet. I wanted to finish getting my pens set up first so I can get the contruction mess cleaned up before I contact the NPIP people. I'm just about there.

Oh, and I've been receiving shipped eggs. I'm on a Serama kick. I just hatched by first batch of Seramas a few days ago, I put more Serama eggs in the Brinsea this morning, and I have more Serama eggs booked to arrive in August.

I'm just not shipping eggs during the summer. I'm letting the hens rest while I build new pens and enlarge existing pens.

ETA: how would you know how much to charge for shipping to Canada?

That's the jist of it-getting NPIP is the hardest part otherwise it's pretty simple. For shipping quotes id assume you would have to contact your local post office on getting the customs documentation but that's about it yeah.
 
I set some hatching eggs that were shipped to me on Wednesday. They were locally shipped so by truck. One egg was broken and another was cracked. They were not to bad air cell wise but the yolks are damaged.
