So sad, was really hoping all would be good. Maybe ship a regular chicken egg from your frig or if you know someone that has laying hens and see if it gets cracked/pipped during shipping. If not, thrn likely the little guy pipped himself. That would answer the question of l the pipping and that it wasn't too soon, possibly.
Seeing most package handlers are idiots that don't care about the packages they handle, I think you need to come up with something that ensures the egg stay upright. If the tort did pip on its own, then most likely just wasn't going to make it, unless the plane pressure killed it after it piped?
What if it was floated in water with hand warmers around it?
I do think the pressure of the plane played some sort of roll. I just don't know the science behind it.
