Cuticula ~Word of the DAY!
A thin membrane that covers the whole eggshell that is made from the sticky fluid which covers an egg freshly laid and quickly dissolves due to carbondioxyde activity.
This membrane can be penetrated by gasses but functions as a kind defensive mechanism to prevent the entry of bacteria.
