Fragile hatching eggs?View attachment 1273244

If the eggs are packed correctly, they can take that!

I watched a video from a former member skyline where he and his son threw egg boxes 30 feet in the air and let them crash on the cement. Eggs did not break and hatched fine too.

Sally has a modified version here.

The big point though is IF the eggs are packaged right. Unfortunately there aren't those who's sense of responsibility ends once the money hits paypal. Then there are those who care but who really don't know what the heck they are doing nor do they know where to go to get the knowledge and thus do the best they can. The rest are those who are conscientious responsible and put the extra effort into getting the eggs to their destination in once piece.

And those boxes can be dropped 30 feet with no damage.

I had good luck when i was shipping. Wrapped each egg in bubble wrap, then placed in egg carton. Wrapped it in bubble wrap. Filled the rest of the box with air bags and or crumpled news paper until it was firmly filled, no spaces so things didn't shift. I also learned NOT to mark stuff fragile because that makes it a target. And i always added extras.
