The lungs of the developing chick are not formed or functioning until day 19 of incubation. The use of the albumen within the shell for the embryo allows room for air to gather as absorbed by the porous shell. That small amount of air is enough for the chick to use until the egg tooth opens the shell. This is one reason a double yolk egg fails to fully develop.
