    Would a rooster on antibiotics effect his hen's eggs?

    My rooster has the nasty respiratory thing. I'm putting him on antibiotics. I know with hens, you can't eat their eggs for 20 days or so because it's in their system. If the rooster is fertilizing his hens, will that effect their eggs at all? will they be safe to hatch them or to eat them?

    how to make a hole in a non-pipped egg?

    This egg is on day 23 and no pipping or anything at all. I have a bad feeling it's stuck or unable to get out. So I just wanted to poke a tiny hole in the air cell and see if that would help it. But what would I use to gently peel the shell away when there's no pip? any suggestions?
