Do eggs have pores that when left in water for a period of time that it will seep in?

My wife says that eggs have pores that enable the embryo to breathe oxygen and when left in water for a period of time,the embryo would die due to lack of oxygen. I think that the embryo does not breathe oxygen. Please give an explanation to which one of us is right?|||Eggs do have pores. They are so small they allow oxygen to enter, but hold the water/moisture in.|||Yes a egg has pores. If you hold a egg up to a light bulb you will see them. For the cells to grow they need oxygen.|||yes, they have. Any animal breaths. An embryo develops, has its own metabolism and it would be impossible without oxygen. Proper freezing of cells make metabolism to stop and conserve.|||interesting gonna go put an egg in water now and check it out.
