What Is an Air Chamber?

There is an empty space inside each egg shell. There is no egg liquid. This structure is called the air chamber, and it has two functions. When the eggs are hatched, the chicks that haven't come out of the shell breathe air. The chick is breathing the air in the air chamber. There are more than 7 000 small holes in the egg shell that are invisible to the naked eye, most of which are distributed near the air chamber. The outside air can enter the egg shell through the small holes and be stored in the air chamber for chicks that have not come out of the shell Breathe.

In addition, under the influence of external temperature, the volume of egg liquid will appear to expand and contract. With this air chamber, the egg shell will not burst when the volume of egg liquid increases.
