Going off the current topic of Quails...

I'm starting to post Silkie hatching eggs but it'll be the first time I've ever done it.

I've been looking at ways for me to pack them and I was thinking...wrap each egg in bubble wrap, put them in an egg carton, wrap the carton in bubble wrap, put the carton inside a small box, pack around it with newspaper, tape the box shut and put on some fragile tape!

Of course, sent with the quickest postage and tracked.

Do you guys think that's ample?

That and wrapping them in the foil like @MysteryChicken said is how ive always done it, and i have always had great luck with my shipments.

I just saw this

I've never done the foil but that's something to remember! When I ship, I wrap each egg in bubble wrap. I do not use an egg carton but I do line a smaller shipping box with foam padding and place all the eggs upright in that. I then use a bigger box that the small box can fit inside, using egg cartons as a buffer/stabilizer all around. I don't think anyone has ever received a broken egg

After years of running old English game bantams and jungle fowl that both thought they knew better than Turkey Mama when it came to nest sites and sleeping arrangements, it is refreshing to have a sweet little chicken that happily goes along with what TurkeyMama says.
