Disclosed herein is a method for positioning a tip of a needle for injection into and/or removal from an egg. The method includes steps of: measuring at least one electrical parameter characteristic of a target zone to obtain a reference electrical value measuring the electrical parameter at the tip to obtain a value measured at a position of the tip in the egg and comparing the measured value with a characteristic reference parameter. A system for determining a position of a tip of a needle for injection into and/or removal from an egg is also disclosed.
