Egg shells are fragile and can break easily with even a small amount of force due to their thin and brittle nature. The shell is made of calcium carbonate crystals which are fairly delicate, making it necessary to handle eggs with care to prevent cracking or breaking.

Why make egg shells fragile?

If the shell was too thick, it would not allow for the gas exchange required to maintain life for the chick, and indeed the shells of larger birds such as emu, kiwi, etc, do have very conspicuous pores. The bird only makes the shell as thick as it is needed - a larger eggshell needs to be stronger to withstand the greater forces of its own weight, and minor impacts. Perhaps you could measure the thickness of a small bird's egg shell, and compare that to a chicken, and have a look at an ostrich egg in a museum. Be a scientist.
