My incubator is full but if you can ship them like they are nitroglycerin I might be tempted to try them when they are next available. My local PO delivers stuff that looks like Ace Ventura has had a go at it. They've even cracked goose eggs.

Also, I've had terrible luck incubating Calls. So I'm going to need all the help with that. Unless someone is broody at the time...
I'm pretty sure it's just my PO. lol My friends about 10 minutes up the road have had eggs shipped in that I've hatched for them with no trouble at all. Like 30 chicks out of 36 eggs. Mine is a very small rural office with weird hours, so I can't ever get there to pick the eggs up either, so they always put them in the garage so I can almost back over them when I get home from work. Which I suppose is better than my friends who had one left on the tailgate of their pick up in 100-degree weather in Texas and the other was put on the trashcan at the end of the driveway.
I bet your mail goes through Dallas? So I can imagine Ace Ventura working there. (No offense intended to anyone!!) The larger cities do seem to cause more damage to packages. Nashville and DC are two of the worst, in my experience.
@Mrs. Fluffy Puffy is also in Texas, so maybe she will give us a report of how my packing does.
Yes ma'am, I sure can!

Us BYC'ers need to start a poultry and hatching egg 'Uber Driver's' system to transport our hatching eggs, baby chicks and such to each other, because other poultry owners would know how to handle eggs and poultry 
Think you may have something there…lol.Yes ma'am, I sure can!
Shame on the PO employees that treat packages so rough
My eggs arrived this morning! Not a single one broken! She packaged them so well!

I'm going to let them sit a little while before I give them to some broody girls. Do yall think 18 Call eggs is too many to give a Muscovy hen to sit on?

Ooh okay, well she should be able to handle that many then. She's a decent sized girl. She has tried to sit at least two years in a row I think, one year her eggs weren't good possibly and last year I gave her chicken eggs to hatch but a bullsnake came and caused troubleYay!! I'm so happy they arrived safely.
I've had Call hens sit on 12-15 eggs, I would think 18 would fit under a muscovy hen. Is she a very big girl? Has she hatched before? I don't know how rough they are on eggs, so that would be something to consider. I assume call eggs are a bit smaller than muscovy eggs?
So maybe she will get to be a mother this time!

Muscovy eggs are bigger, but she might be able to handle 18? I'd just watch her and see.Yay!! I'm so happy they arrived safely.
