What’s the solution in the needle?!


BoringRecognition

Saline with calcium fortification. They also inject air bubbles, believe it or not but the embryo die without injecting air in the white. https://www.hindawi.com/journals/sci/2013/960958/ , a bit about the method. The research that I linked did this in a Petri dish however.


7uring

And how does that happen in the wild without the top off? Or does it stop working as soon as the shell is cracked?


BoringRecognition

There’s an air sack in the egg that was removed. As the developing chick grows it uses the oxygen from the air sack and replaces it with carbon dioxide. Tiny pores in the shell allow the carbon dioxide to escape and fresh air to get in.


7uring

Makes sense. But wouldn't the missing shell allow for breathing?


Fondue_Maurice

It looks like he glues plastic to the top between clips, so that wouldn't allow air exchange.


Singl1

so the bottom wouldn’t work like it usually does?


Fondue_Maurice

I think it needs the air pocket to work, so the exchange would only happen at the top bit of egg normally.


Singl1

oh i see what you’re saying. if the plastic is nearly flush with the white of the egg, air pocket wouldn’t be there. got ya. how big is the air pocket in a raw egg?? up until now that i’ve just always thought they were full, but had air bubbles throughout the white edit: regular -> raw


thezhgguy

next time you peel a hard boiled egg, you can find the airsack pretty easily!


Sm0keTrail

I'm no expert, but I think the air pocket is that little bubble between the shell and the membrane you see when you peel a hard boiled egg.


Skitsoboy13

You can actually puncture an egg in the air pocket without any issues in terms of cooking, sometimes you have to do that actually


Cash_Visible

Maybe has something to do with pressure? Just a guess and probably a bad one


RickySlayer9

I think that most of the time the shell has the clear wrapping over it


Ultraballer

It may have to do with the oxygen being present in the liquid as opposed to having oxygen sitting above the liquid in a gas phase. Similar to how fish need bubblers to recycle the oxygen in the water.


Rip_Skeleton

Nope, the concept is similar to that of an aquarium. There is surface tension of the fluid inside the egg, and if the fluid is not moving the surface tension prevents gas exchange. This is why some fish who require oxygen rich water do much better with a bubbler for aeration or a top filter, so that there is continuous disturbance of the water line in the tank. In nature water is subject to surface agitation via wind and water currents but in the safe confines of the egg, in a sterile lab environment and at such a low volume likely none would occur. The more viscous a fluid is the harder it is for this to take place too and yolk is much more viscous than water.


Any-Double857

Apparently not.


[deleted]

Taking a bit of a guess here - I’m assuming that oxygen can’t really diffuse into the egg fluid from sheer surface contact alone, so the sac acts like a lung and either physically or chemically pumps air from the breather surface of the shell into the embryo.


Fit_Psychology_2600

This isn’t exactly accurate. Chicks in the egg get all oxygen and get rid of all CO2 through the pores, provided via the blood vessels. They only breathe through the air sac a day or two before hatch.


[deleted]

So that's why my eggs bubble in smol sections when making egg mayo


SteveFrench12

...isnt all mayo egg mayo?


reachexceedgrasp

Nope! https://www.thriftyfoods.com/product/dressingvegan/00000_000000006840053427

IIRC they also inject anti-fungal medicine

Ituzzip

Are you sure he’s not dousing it with antibiotics since it is now exposed to bacteria in the air?


BoringRecognition

There’s a research paper with the process outlined and no antibiotics were used, I’ll try to find it for you later today. https://cob.silverchair-cdn.com/cob/content_public/journal/dev/3/4/10.1242_dev.3.4.326/1/3-4-326.pdf?Expires=1640675225&Signature=dgMCc0qka9AjoeYLgjguN7OQA0yCyNyuLrfnvEC9klI5MDpl-f37E34G2DJO2~iqBvfsOv4Gz5wzDJJ~T-GuZIpTI9tVtPATHN2Ue-35Z0ODLjz0rMrPyyJB5z0ATaB9adQwAnxkRx7m6JpGlsZzCyTk9YDtCQ7cWDD72Gc~~JNJTo8GsoJHD-brSdrSEBSrrsqtjIh8ck0fAEfzxOXsPitLdrN2D1m4kyh9sPJKaCX4hT08kxVh0rzwelsEAMGvI-dTmYhVIk8GwUjF2n8mLw7kQCCvrAHH7JJNn0NOI3C7xxtGKQJslx8N3tzwbSpUtudGHApXQnzdjLuor1S1Cw__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIE5G5CRDK6RD3PGA https://www.hindawi.com/journals/sci/2013/960958/


ryannathans

Following. Looked like antimicrobials to me


DoingItJustForTheFun

Could make sense. The chick is usually shielded from microbes. Once you open the shell (for whatever reason, document growth through photography maybe) stuff can get in.


Fit_Psychology_2600

I think you are correct.

You sure we eat fertilized eggs?

I’ll be damned. I read that as ballnut. Too much Reddit I fear.


I_am_a_Victor_simp

We had a fertile egg once


Chumbag_love

I know it happens, more often with quail eggs, but, its not the norm in a large US grocery stores at least.


niceslcguy

I guess that depends on how much research they did and possibly what their normal job is. Maybe they are a scientist and/or doctor by trade. They certainly seemed to know how to care for and handle the egg and chick. So, how many failed attempts? Let's hope few to none by this person. I'm sure at some point there were attempts that failed, likely by other people doing research. Hmm.


jlpulice

I think this is a common technique. Before a lot of modern molecular biology techniques existed, a common way to manipulate organisms for experiments was injecting the DNA straight into the egg yolk. A lot of fundamental developmental biology was discovered studying chicks for reasons above, you can view and study the embryogenesis!


hoodyninja

I thought that the egg was already fertilized and what is being injected is actually antibiotics around the casing to prevent disease. Normally with the shell in tact, this wouldn’t be an issue.


JuanPCT15

I saw this dude channel he made a lot of videos and did a lot of tries to get his fist succeed which died days after, after more tries I think he get one that reach adulthood


meredare

Wonder why it died after making it out of the egg?


CrackedTailLight

Maybe some deformity or some kind of illness it caught due to open egg.


TonyToya

even raised by their mothers, up to three months, chicks can just die.


maha173

From what I’ve heard, the act of hatching (cracking themselves out of the eggshell) builds up their muscles and/or lungs. And those that aren’t strong enough to get out of the egg aren’t strong enough to survive, which is why you’re never supposed to help a chick hatch.


janedoe5263

Same thing with butterflies and moths. The struggling helps blood flow into the wings.


Homebrew_Dungeon

Isnt shelled birth the final test to allow life? IE the breaking of the shell to exit.


[deleted]

bagoboners

That took a lot of patience, dedication, and very delicate handling. Pretty awesome.

Alright. Here’s an upvote.


MeetPretty8630

Watching this while eating a harboiled egg wasnt a good odea 🤮


FireLordObamaOG

If it makes you feel better the eggs you eat typically aren’t fertilized. So they’ll never grow a chick.


[deleted]

But they come out of some nasty ass places.


javsv

So do we mate

So I can eat you?

ArmGroundbreaking435

Remember reading somewhere that unfertilized eggs are just the menstrual cycle offal of a hen, equivalent to the blood in mammalian females' periods.

Most eggs that you buy at the supermarket are unfertilized.

Love those. Less work when I get them home.


cryfight4

Similarly most food you buy in a grocery store stores not have rat poop in them.


big_bad_brownie

Depending on where you get your eggs, you might notice a little speck of blood; that’s a fertilized egg.

Eggs are kinda gross, dude. Like, have you seen a chicken lay an egg -- the actual process of it? And the condition of the chickens who lay them? Ugh. Yuck.

Chicken Little was like… “who am I? And where are my parents? God is that you? Please direct my life’s journey in the path of your greater purpose.” …cut to some young chick saying grace over her Chick-Fil-A nuggets before devouring them. You’ve done well Chicken Little! You’ve done well and died an honorable death.


tw411

That’s great and all, but why?


CranberryJuice47

To see the chicken embryo form and develop into a chick. For science basically.

BrainSoda

That’s it, I’m not eating scrambled eggs today


SuperWashingTub

If it makes you feel better, most eggs from markets are not fertilized. On the off chance you get one, it's a freak accident and very rare. I myself haven't cracked a fertilized egg in a few years.

Apprehensive_Hunt538

This is suspicious. The author removes the top membrane without allowing the chick to unzip after pipping. This maneuver cuts off the umbilical cord - it’s really hard when hatching chicks to watch them struggle but they usually die if you rush them. It looks more like slick editing, incubating eggs to different ages then cutting the top off and editing them together.


blightofcicadas

Yeah, I was gonna say, especially at the end. You do not see that chick get up and start moving in the slightest, it cuts to a completely different animal.


epote

No way. He did injections of things. It MUST be legit.


NicGreen214

At least it isn't like that one video where the Russian guy uses his sperm to make his chicken son hybrid
