Kiki's found horse eggs—experiment Round 2

If I open the head would it have liquid in it?

Maybe? If you decide to do this again weigh the eggs and shoot for whatever the industry standard loss is. Let me use my pea eggs as an example. If my pea eggs lose any less than 14% they will have some swelling on their heads and necks and they will have huge yolk bellies. Those that lose 15% or more look much better at hatch.

I'll weigh from now on for sure but wouldn't the air cell be small or on the smaller side if it didn't lose enough?

Probably in the tissues.

Probably in the tissues.

How would I go about figuring this out?
Opening it up?

I would think so. Do you have a picture of the air cell?

Post one has links to daily pictures and videos of the eggs.

Extremely high.

Crap. Guess I'll have to expect needing to make a safety hole and assist
