Tosefta for Chullin 127:16
שמנה ספיקות הן ליבדוק בביצים דידהו
To teach the following: If both ends [of the egg] were broad, or both narrow, or if the yolk was outside and the white in the center, it is certainly unclean; if, however, one end was broad and the other narrow, and the white outside and the yolk in the center, and if, in addition, the gentile says.'
Tosefta Chullin
And as to eggs, any [egg] that narrows [at the top] and is rounded, if it is known to be from an impure bird, and any [egg] that does not narrow [at the top] or is not rounded, if it is known to be from a clean bird, is clean (see Hul. 64a:2). They may take eggs from either of them and they need not be concerned lest [the eggs] are from carrion or from tereifot. They may not sell eggs from carrion or from teriefot to idolaters unless they are cracked open into a dish, and moreover, [the Sages] said, they may not buy from idolaters eggs cracked open into a dish.
