Gahhhh the eggs sorta freaked me out too, I can only hope it will get better with time/experience. You are so brave! Good for you!! If you have limes handy you can rub them on your hands to get smells off too. I'll have to remember the vicks under the nose for me next time...keep up the good work

I smushed one of the yolks and when it burst I actually said "GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Whenever I gut an animal or even handle a chicken that I bought from a store I always wear Nitrile Examination golves which I purchase at a Sam's Club - you can buy them in a box of 200 - I use them also when I weed or work in the garden - they allow you to grip things better and when your done I just throw them away - no dirty hands or smelly hands - you don't mind handling the guts because your really not touching them -
