Abstract: An injector, injection systems and methods for injecting a substance into an egg, where the injector includes a shaft, a sheath extending from the shaft in a longitudinal direction; a trocar positioned at least partly inside the sheath; and a needle at least partly inside the trocar. The injector can further include a locking mechanism configured to lock the trocar with the shaft in the longitudinal direction in a first position of the trocar relative to the sheath, the locking mechanism being further configured to unlock the trocar from the shaft in the longitudinal direction in a second position of the trocar relative to the sheath. The needle is fully inside the trocar in the first longitudinal position and at least partly extends from the trocar in the second longitudinal position.
