>Dennis:
If you want larger eggs like goose (as opposed to chicken eggs) you can get them already empty and sanitized from
www.treelineusa.com
they also have rhea, ostrich and other exotics.
But a more direct answer is if you punch a hole in each end of an egg with something like an ice pick or a very small drill bit held in a pin vise and hand turn it to make the holes. Then just blow into one hole (you have to put your lips around the hole to create a seal) and inside's will come out the other hole. Sand paper rolled up like a funnel can be used to enlarge the holes if necessary.
