Air chambers

Can anyone confirm that soft-shelled eggs donā€™t develop air-chambers? Hard to
see how they could.

Presumably crocs develop air-chambers. Do all hard-shelled eggs?

Thanks for any views.

Cordially,

John V. Jackson

Only if the croc egg desiccates, towards the end of incubation (before hatching time) we may notice the leathery membrane of the eggĀ depress-in (like vacum)....	Lala A.K. Singh laksingh2005	Oct 29, 2008 9:16 pm
Fascinating - thatnks too, Lala. So perhaps that's why the croc hard shell layer seems (as far as I can tell - may be wrong) to fall off more readily than...	strangetruther@... strangetruther	Oct 30, 2008 10:32 am
Thanks Charles. That's interesting. So crocs don't need to poke their noses into an airspace while still in the egg. Does this mean they remove the fluid...	strangetruther@... strangetruther	Oct 29, 2008 9:16 pm
Croc hatchling is a miniature replica, almost in all respects, of the adult.. It breaths, and may even bite (snap at) immediately after hatchling. Sometimes,...	Lala A.K. Singh laksingh2005	Oct 30, 2008 11:09 am
