I've known someone take eggs from here abroad and hatch them out ok.

That’s what I would do

I've done a 4 hour car journey with the eggs cut in to a fresh loaf of bred.
A bloomer fresh out the bakery that is still warm is best.

Many years go I was given a pair of eggs from the late Brian Riley direct from his 2nd BICC Barcelona hen 863 miles. I drove home, with the eggs sat in my wife's lap next to me..

I've also sent eggs in the post over 200 miles in bubble wrap which hatched ok.

Yes very small set up. The OBs and YBs were in same small loft. He never sent big teams normally a single entry in the big races. Knew Brian for many years. He had a eye for a good bird, literally, as he only had one eye.

Seems a dreadful waste of a decent loaf

I think I'd dump the eggs and get myself a slab of butter

. As a kid I always got sent to the shops about a mile away. By the time I got home I always use to eat one end of a fresh, still warm bloomer
