For blowing out RAW eggs (for resale on ebay) I used a needle attached
to tubing and used a fish tank compressor. I used to sell clean blown
duck and emu eggshells. The emu eggs were blown out from a single hole
and I used a 14 gauge bone marrow needle for those. New ones that had
been discarded by our pathologist...

I still have a good supply of clean blown emu shells out in the storage
shed. I'm waiting for the price to go back up now that emus are not
longer popular so the shells are no longer as easily available to egg
artists. ;-) I also have a few Ostrich and Rhea shells.
