How do chickens get eggs?
The developing embryo gets everything it needs from both the yolk and albumen of the egg. The yolk is the yellow part of an egg and the albumen is the clear white "jelly" substance that surrounds the yolk. As the chick develops within the shell the yolk and albumen are used up and replaced by air surrounding the chick.
Is the white bumps on the egg yoke the chicken's eyes?

First both would be wrong because the yolk of an egg is in fact yellow not white!However, on the point of grammar, the yolk of an egg is a singular object and therefore the correct declination of the verb to be in the sentence would be 'is' and not 'are'.Thus the proper form is 'the yolk of the egg is yellow' and for the plural case 'the yolks of the eggs are yellow'
