I'm so sorry! How infuriating! I swear, the quickest way to ensure a package is just decimated is to mark it fragile!

Sorry that you got that mess. You are right, that one does look cooked like in almost soft boiled. I don't know where you are, but couldn't you find someone who lives close enough to you to get some from?
I like this idea. Only question is whether they routinely x-ray mail.Whenever I ship eggs I ask the buyer if they want hatching eggs written on it but strongly recommend not doing. I've done experiments with it written and with nothing written and the written ones were always messed up way more than the ones not. I'm convinced it gets unwanted attention from people that have nothing better to do than to mess with your shipment. Don't trust anyone imo.
I know... I'm sure she didn't put live hatching eggs on the box for that very reason. And she used a printed FRAGILE" label from the post office! It wasn't her fault.I like this idea. Only question is whether they routinely x-ray mail.
The last two times I have ordered hatching eggs, they have been plastered with "live hatching eggs/FRAGILE" labels, solidly packed, but the eggs were a mess. Broken eggs and scrambled yolks. My husband and I speculated at the effort it must have taken to had broken the eggs given the packaging. That any survived intact is a miracle. It's really a shame, as I would rather have eggs shipped, then live chicks.
If I order again, I may ask them to pack them same as normal, but not label, just to see what happen. It's hard to believe they could be treated any worse.
I'm going to research the effects of x-ray on live eggs.I like this idea. Only question is whether they routinely x-ray mail.

No one in my state advertises Welsh Harlequin duck hatching eggs for sale.Ask some of your friends/neighbors that have hens and a rooster for some fresh fertile eggs. They will probably give them to you or sell them. I wanted to incubate some eggs but didn't have enough young hens to get good fertile eggs from so asked a neighbor I had never met and she gave me a dozen! Out of 13 eggs I have 8 babies a week old now! Maybe not good hatch rate but it was our first time. So exciting to watch!
So I copied and pasted. Hope that's ok!Found a post by Oxepat that opens my eyes to the egg shipping dilemma! Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to share it here.
