Body checks

Body checks can result in weakened shells.

A body check is an egg which looks like the shell is cracked, but is actually still intact.

Body checks are eggs which are cracked when the shell is being formed in the hen's body and then partially calcified over before being laid.

A body check is classified as Grade B.
