Body check describes what?

Body check describes a break in the eggshell that occurred while the egg was still inside the hen, before laying. The timing matters because cracks formed during formation in the oviduct are categorized differently from damage that happens after the egg is laid, during handling or washing. Recognizing that the crack happened pre-laying helps inspectors identify the defect’s origin and its implications for production quality. Post-lay cracks, or fine cracks after washing, are due to external handling after lay and are not described as a body check.
