Although we go to great precaution to prepare all eggs sold when packaging We cannot be responsible for hatch rates or damage once they are delivered to the Post Office for shipping We package all eggs in heavy foam shippers and place in boxes that are tightly packed to avoid any movement of eggs during shipping The Post Office can and sometimes does damage eggs during this process All of our birds have proven fertility before offered for sell We can add insurance to your shipment at an additional cost. This cost is decided by the Post Office For all live bird shipments insurance is Required to protect us and your investment. A zip code is required for actual shipping costs Thank You
