These are the packing materials we use. The key is the heavy bubble wrap. We also use heavy carpet padding when the bubble wrap is not available. The padding or bubble wrap is cut into strips so the eggs can be rolled and taped. A piece of 12" X 12" bubble folded in 3's is perfect for one egg. We wrap the eggs individually, tape them, and place them in the box. They are packed snug, but not tight. If the box bulges, it'll break the eggs when they are stacked at the post office. Priority Mail boxes are available FREE from your local Post Office, or by calling the Priority Mail Service Center at 1-800-610-8734. They will set up an account for you and happily deliver the boxes to your door. They even supply packing tape and shipping labels!!!

We clean and mark all our hatching eggs. We sort for size and conformity, and discard any eggs that are less than perfect. The eggs above on the left are good ones. The eggs above on the right are all rejects. Notice the different sizes and colors. Eggs are never wasted, they'll be hard boiled and fed to our birds or go in the fridge for us. It just depends on when they are sorted.
