1. Chicken eggs are porous. They easily pass oxygen to the yoke, and
they can pass other things as well.
2. The intensive antibiotics are primarily a health/yield issue, since
commercially raised chickens are incredibly crowded, pick on each other
to the point of death, and are raised in a totally unnatural type of
environment. If anyone has the stomach for it, I will describe
privately.
