How do baby birds get oxygen inside their eggs?

They have a large oxygen supply from the start

Oxygen is created during protein reduction

Oxygen comes in through pores in the shell

They don't need oxygen at all

Directly under the shell, there is a small pocket of air. The microscopic pores on the egg surface allow the CO2 to escape and fresh air to get in, so a developing bird can breathe.
