We report the first acoustical vibration studies on chicken eggs. Measurements of the acoustic resonances offer the potential of simple, noninvasive, and rapid characterization of eggs. The technique appears at least partially sensitive to yolk puncture, shell cracks, and the presence of Salmonella bacteria. There may be practical quality control applications.
