Are these eggs edible?

If I am picturing it right in my head, I would think the empty space in the blunt, or 'big' end (not pointed), would be the air sac? I'm not sure though.

If they sink they are good to eat. I learned that from my grandmother a looonnnggggg time ago. So far it has not been wrong. There is always a first time. Even my DW uses this method when I bring eggs in and tell her, honey look what I found in the bushes. Some float, some don't. Those that float are pitched down the cayon and the skunk fight over them. If there are 24 eggs and none are bad, you can bet they are not all from one hen.

Interesting possibility.
Now you've got me thinking one of her sisters has laid some there too - even though she sometimes lays in the nesting box. I thought that one was not laying every day! Yours seems a better explanation - Sherlock!!!
