Does a chicken grow from the white or the yolk of an egg?
The germinal disc is located on the yolk, so that is where the initial cellular division takes place. But a chick can not develop with out both the yolk and the whites (albumen). The yolk is a high concentration of fats which provides energy for growth where as the albumen is high in proteins also needed for tissue growth.
Is the thin albumen the same as thick albumen?
No. It differs in viscosity.
What does the egg white of a chicken egg help the embryos?

How does a chicken shell protect a chicken?
It protects the newly forming chick for the first 21 days. The shell holds the yolk and albumen together creating a barrier from dirt, germs and trauma. It is natures "safe"container designed to allow the embryo to mature enough that the chick can develop.
