I have had a few people ask me how I wrap my eggs. Well here you go! I have had very good hatch rates from my customers when packing this way.
1) I fold a paper towel in 1/3's. I roll the egg up and tape in the middle.
2) I cut bubble wrap to fit roughly the same size as the paper towel. I roll the egg and tape in the middle and both ends.
3) I put 1 to 1/2 inches of fine saw dust on the bottom of a large flat rate box (dozen + eggs or medium flat rate box 6+)
4) I set the eggs on there sides. Roughly 8 for a large flat rate box and 6 for a medium flat rate box.
5) Fill with saw dust to just cover the eggs, pack around sides so that the eggs do not move in transit. Be careful not to pack to tightly. You want a little give.
6) repeat- Lay more eggs & pack with sawdust again.
7) Put saw dust over the top of the second layer of eggs, make sure to pack firmly but not to tight. Tape the top and you are ready to go!
