I paid many different prices for eggs depending on type of bird. Shipping always run me 10.00 for each auction. I have paid anywhere from a few dollars for 6 eggs to 13.00 for 18 eggs. I have recieved eggs placed in newspaper after being bubble wrapped. I have recieved eggs bubbled wrapped and placed into smaller boxes than into a bigger box. I have recieved eggs packed in egg cartoon and saw dust shavings around. Depends upon the sellers preference I think. Normally I only have a few eggs that are broken if any. They normally pack extras. I paid 5.00 for 6 silky eggs one time.

I usually sell around 20 dozen hathching eggs per season and ship by express mail, Post runs from 8-11 $$ per doz. I wrap each egg in 1/2 paper towel and put in egg carton then pack the carton with more towels until there can be no movement, seal the carton and tape shut. Then use newspaper to wrap the carton, about 20 layers then put in a box and stuff corners with newspaper and foam peanuts also coverring the egg carton. I have had only 1 report of broken eggs, but I dont really think they were broken; some people just try to get something for nothing. Most breeders will ship again for postage only if more than a few are broken. I get $25 per dozen for my bantam eggs which are from top show winning breeding stock. Sometimes the hatch rate suffers on shipped eggs and other times the hatch rate is very good. Its always a crap shoot but a good way to get some excellent genetics into your location.
