What are the parts of a chicken egg?

What is inside a chichen egg

A chicken egg is an egg where a chicken is born from. Their are lots of parts to a chicken egg. Below I listed some of the things a chicken egg has inside it and what it does.

1. Shell - Protects the embryo (chick)/Gives air for the chick with it's pores
2. Shell lining - Protects the embryo (chick)/waterproof so water can't get in OR out.
3. Egg white - Protects the embryo (chick)/Provides embryo (chick) with water.
4. Chalaza - Protects the embro (chick) from vibrations (also acts like a seat belt).
5. Egg Yolk - Provides food for the embryo (chick)
6. Air sac - a sac of air at the bottom of the shell.
7. Embryo - Where the chick grows out of on the egg yolk.

Below I will explain what the parts of an egg look like.

1. Shell - A hard shell that has tiny holes in it called pores.
2. Shell lining - kind of like a rain coat that is waterproof (if you ever took a seed apart, the you would see a similar thing).
3. Egg white - Water that takes in any vibrations and provides water for the embryo. It doesn't evaporate because of the shell lining.
4. Chalaza - kind of like a seat belt or a rope holding the chick to the egg so it won't wobble around in the egg.
5. Egg yolk - The round yellow thing that you eat when eating an egg. It provides food for the embryo.
6. ?
7. Embryo - a tiny white dot on the egg yolk that will later become a chick.

1. Did you know that when you eat a chicken egg, your not really killing the chicken? That is because the dad of the chick didn't fertilize the egg yet, so their will never be a chicken in that egg.
