What is the function of microscopic holes in an chicken egg?

The microscopic holes in the shell of a chicken egg are made by imperfect packing of the calcium carbonate crystals. The pores make up about 10% of the surface of the egg. Oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse through these pores. As the egg ages, more carbon dioxide enters the cell and the albumin becomes runny, the yolk flattens and may adhere to the inside of the shell, and the egg will have a stale taste. It is through these pores that bacteria enter the egg and it will become rotten and form the typical hydrogen sulfide smell of a rotten egg.
