Yes, that is EXACTLY how it should be done, and I have done that very same technique many countless times as well. As you mentioned, it is ALL ABOUT gently gripping BOTH eggs as close to where they are joined as possible, and very slowly applying a gentle, steady, even pull until the eggs part.



However(and I think you will also agree), this only needs to be done in certain instances, like where an egg is attached to another way up in the air all by itself, with no way to absorb the proper amount of moisture like the rest of the clutch.
