Chalazae cords are twisted, rope-like structures found in the egg of birds, including chickens. They are made of protein and serve to anchor the yolk in the center of the egg white (albumen), helping to maintain the yolk's position and protect it during movement. Each egg typically contains two chalazae, one at each end of the yolk. These structures are important for the proper development of the embryo if the egg is fertilized.

Why is there an umbilical cord in an egg if it is unfertilized?
You must mean that stringy white stuff beside the yolk of an egg. That's not an umbilical cord. What you see is called the chalazae. Chalazae are strong protein strands designed to hold the yolk of the egg centered in the albumen (egg white). The chalazae in a real fresh egg are quite noticeable. They shrink or disappear as the egg ages in the shell. There is no umbilical need for avians (birds) since they are ovipositors. Egg layers have no need for umbilical cords as development takes place in a separate closed environment from the mother.

Chalazae (white strings) are there to anchor the yolk in the centre of the egg shell.
What is the anchor of an egg?
The anchor of an egg refers to the chalazae, which are two spiral-shaped structures made of protein that connect the yolk to the eggshell membrane. They help keep the yolk centered within the egg white, providing stability and protection during development. The chalazae play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the egg's contents.
What is a chalaza?
Chalazae are the pair of spiral bands holding the yolk of a bird's egg suspended near the center of the egg. Each of the spiral bands is called a chalaza.
What is the little white string in the egg yoke?
There are two possibilities. The string hanging when you crack an egg into the pan or bowl when cooking is the inner membrane. This is the lining between the albumen and the shell and is attached to the inner shell. It often hangs from the broken shell after the rest of the egg has dropped into the dish. The white stringy thing in the egg next to the egg yolk is called the chalazae. This is a strand of protein that centers they egg yolk in the albumen (the egg white) The freshest eggs have two, most store bought eggs have only one visible if any as they fade away as the egg grows stale.
What is the twisted strand in the albumen?
They're called the chalazae. Their purpose is to hold the egg yolk in the center of the albumen. There is one on either side of the yolk, and they attach to the inside of the shell wall.
