Darn right
Btw the Korean market didn't have Balut.

Shoot. Did you ask?
They might hide it in the back.

I can drive by the end of this month so I might go out looking for some when I get back from Germany.

@Pyxis ?

Sorry, I was asleep!

Coating it in coconut is good, you're gonna want to keep applying that.

Bad news is, that's the yolk and a foot you're seeing. So it's backwards in the egg. Good news is that even when backwards like that they often can hatch on their own. It should be able to at least pip at the wrong end when it needs to. Bad news again, with the air cell open it will have no leverage to push and turn to zip, so it will probably need help when it does need to hatch due to this. Good news again, you can clearly see the yolk here, so it's gonna be really easy to see when it is ready.

In case it can't get the leverage to pip when it needs to, keep an eye on the rest of the shell - you might see a small bruise appear. If you do, that means it tried to pip and couldn't. So if you see that, you have to remove the shell over the bruise.

I just walked someone else through doing this with a Call duckling, and the duckling made it and did fine.
