Abstract

Synopsis The shell of the pigeon egg has no cuticle. It is water repellent but the pores are flooded easily with water when a force is applied. It is proposed that in considerations of the interaction of water and the shells of eggs, the terms water repellency and water resistance should be used in preference to the imprecise term‐, water‐proofing.
