Eggs are surprisingly strong for something so easily cracked into the frying pan.
End to end an egg can withstand enormous pressures if applied equally.
Some breeds of chickens lay eggs with shells that are much thicker than the ones bought at the local supermarket. A young Araucana or Americana hen can lay an egg with shell four times as thick as regular hens. Not good news if the egg is fertilized and a chick needs to break out. Here, we do not collect fertilized eggs from hens less than 1 year old just because of shell thickness. Shells get thinner as the hen ages.
A fair bit of the strength of eggs comes from their shape... the shape naturally spreads the stresses out evenly. Many buildings with large open spaces have a dome-shaped roof for more or less the same reason.

∙ 12y agoThe size of the egg doesn't dictate the strength of the shelll. The type of egg does. Quail eggs are smaller than chicken eggs, but they are usually stronger. Duck eggs are larger than chicken eggs but they are also usually stronger. So size doesn't matter.

Why was i born with a small penis?
Your penis size is genetic and having a big or small penis is a gamble with your genes. It is not always so that if every male in your family has a big penis that you would necessary have a big penis. This is all rather random and there are not many things you can do to help this situation. The best things you can do if you want to get a small penis to look better is to practice kegels, which make your erections stronger, go to the gym, because stronger leg area gives stronger erections and better blood flow in the area, and last but not least, eat healthy and well.
