Parts of an Egg
Yolk
• The yellow part in the center of
the egg.
• The yolk is separated from the
white by the vitelline membrane.
• The yolk provides “food” that is
essential for the developing chick
embryo.
Yolk Color
• The actual color of the egg yolk
varies based on what the hen who
laid the egg is fed.
• Hens fed a diet high in corn or
alfalfa tend to have a more dark
yellow to orange-colored yolk
because those feeds are high in a
fat-soluble pigment called
xanthophyll.
• Hens who are fed a diet of mostly
wheat, which is low in xanthophyll,
would have a very light yellow or
even slightly grayish yolk.
Germ
• The small white circle on the
yolk.
• In a fertile egg, this is where
the embryo starts to develop.
• In non-fertile eggs, this spot
stays small and white.
Albumen
Shell
Shell Membranes
• Membranes that are located just inside the
shell
• Act as a barrier between the shell and the
albumen
Air Cell
• The small open space at the large end of an
egg
• Formed by the separation of the two shell
membranes
• Provides the chick with an air supply during
the final stage of development just before
hatching
• Older non-fertile eggs will have a larger air cell
due to moisture loss.
Chalaza
Connects the yolk to the egg
Germinal Disk
