the big problem is that eggs should not be posted

I agree. This is why I always collect my eggs, but if someone decides it's too much trouble and chooses to have them posted, then sole responsablity lies with them, no one else.

How many none hatching batches would you need to hear of Chirpy before you'd accept there is a problem with the eggs? (I'm talking of batches which don't hatch in with Ebay eggs that do hatch)

Having had zero out of two batches, I'd still be prepared to put it down to bad luck with the post, if it wasn't for the fact that this or similar seems to be everyone else's experience as well. (and then there are the dodgy shells as well)
