Why do the hatching eggs have so much plastic taped around them?

[user213590]

Isn't all that plastic taped around the eggs sufficating the eggs?
Now here is my reasoning and questioning.
These eggs are living beings. They need a certain tempture to stabilize them for storage & mailing They need air, oxygen to live. That is why there are vent holes in the incubator and we put water in reservoirs for the warm air and warm water to mingle.
The eggs I have received in the mail wrapped in tissue paper or a little bit of plastic bubble wrap taped around them I have a 75% hatch rate and are always the inexpensive eggs. BUT, the expensive eggs come bundled for the death of winter in plastic bubble wrap wrapped from all angles, taped and completely sealed and yet I only have about a 25% hatch rate. Is the plastic bubble wrap killing the embryos? Sufficating them to death?

They aren't "suffocating" at that point as they are not incubation and, thus, not a "living being" as of yet because development has not started. The temperature is not even really an issue at that point.
