Transporting eggs

[Muscovy Wunda]

Hi all,
So I am going to be buying some fertile duck eggs. I considered having eggs posted to me but the couriers around here are absolutely brutal so I am going to collect myself (conviently I have family that lives 30min from breeder). Now the trip will take 6-8hrs (travelling with kids) is there any tips or tricks transporting eggs? Like will rotating once or twice during travel help reduce air cell detatching?

I think vibration is something to avoid so maybe some cushioning under the cartons?

X2... only worry about damage from vibrations or hard jolts.

Don't bother rotating them.

Do transport them pointy side down. Egg cartons lined with toilet paper so that the eggs sit snugly should work.

Thanks guys. So plenty of packing and store in place with the least moving/vibrating? I think I can do that

Good luck.
