The eggs form naturally, whether or not it is fertilized. First, the yolk, the yellow nutrients of the egg, is released from an ovary and passed as a tiny fluid membrane ball through the female's reproductive tract. As it develops, the egg whites, or albumen, are secreted around it. Next, the shell develops as layers of calcium and other minerals build up around it. The egg is then passed through the body and exits as a fully formed egg. It is rather like an assembly line. In the birds body, there is a whole line up of undeveloped eggs, each at a more advanced stage than the one behind it, all lined up like small marbles. The eggs continue to develop constantly as long as the animal is alive, but the productivity varies depending on the time of year, whether the bird has chicks or not, and its age.
