Eggs are surprisingly strong for something so easily cracked into the frying pan.
End to end an egg can withstand enormous pressures if applied equally.
Some breeds of chickens lay eggs with shells that are much thicker than the ones bought at the local supermarket. A young Araucana or Americana hen can lay an egg with shell four times as thick as regular hens. Not good news if the egg is fertilized and a chick needs to break out. Here, we do not collect fertilized eggs from hens less than 1 year old just because of shell thickness. Shells get thinner as the hen ages.
A fair bit of the strength of eggs comes from their shape... the shape naturally spreads the stresses out evenly. Many buildings with large open spaces have a dome-shaped roof for more or less the same reason.

∙ 12y agoThe size of the egg doesn't dictate the strength of the shelll. The type of egg does. Quail eggs are smaller than chicken eggs, but they are usually stronger. Duck eggs are larger than chicken eggs but they are also usually stronger. So size doesn't matter.
