Basically, you just have to watch the egg to see when the time left changes. For example, if you have an egg that has 4d 1h left, you will watch to see when it changes to 4d 0h, and then you know its ToD is exactly 4 days from that time.
When you first pick up the egg, it helps to narrow down the time to a 5- or 10-minute interval first. So, check it every 5 or 10 minutes and see when the time changes. For example, if it changes sometime between xx:20 and xx:30, then sometime later you can refresh the egg's page once a second between xx:20 and xx:30 to see exactly when the time changes.
Say your egg changes from 3d 6h to 3d 5h at exactly 3:25:30. Then you know its time of death is 3 days and 5 hours from 3:25:30, or in three days at 8:25:30.
I should go see if I can find some AP eggs for experiments now. Hmm, they're at 5d 3h and 5d 4h at the moment, so their time of death will be Sunday between 8 and 9 PM. That's a good time for experiments.
