We wanted to share a transparent look at what can occasionally happen when fertile eggs are transported. While they might appear perfectly fine on the outside, candling often reveals the hidden impacts of transit, such as detached air cells or internal membrane damage leading to albumen leakage. Even with the most meticulous packaging, the journey itself introduces variables we cannot always control.
We put this together simply to help you make an informed decision and understand the inherent risks involved in shipping eggs. If you feel unprepared for these potential risks, sourcing locally available eggs might be a more reassuring option.
