Three form of albumen surround the yolk. The first part of the albumen is added in the Magnum where the inner and out shell membranes are deposited. A small amount of thin albumen and mineral salts are deposited around the yolk.

The majority of albumen is formed in the Isthmus. It is here that Albumen or egg white is secreted and layered around the yolk and the protein strands called Chalazae are attached to the yolk and albumen. Finally, as the eggs reaches the shell gland or uterus, more water is added to the outer edge of the albumen making the outer edge more liquid than the mid and inner albumen.
