Egg yolk is the food sac that contains a lot of fats and protein for the embryo and fetus to live off of while it is growing in the egg. The chick literally envelops the yolk sac into its belly to live off of for a few days after it has hatched until it finds food for itself. The yolk is made in the hen, which is developed on the ovary of the hen. The embryo is attached to this yolk sac.
