No. The egg yolk is fertilized before the yolk and albumin are joined and well before the shell is formed. The oocyte (yolk) is produced during ovulation. This is released into the oviduct where it is fertilized by a sperm from the sperm sac previously deposited by the rooster. The yolk continues down the oviduct fertile or not and is surrounded the vitaline membrane, then by albumin and then shell membrane and finally the calcite that hardens into the actual shell. This takes about 24 hours.

How does a chicken egg get fertilized?
The male chicken or rooster chooses a hen from the flock and does a mating dance or display for her. This lets her know she has been chosen to mate with the male. He will do little sidesteps and circles around her, then dip his wings. He sometimes drags his wings on the ground. At a certain point in this dance he grabs her by the feathers at the back of her neck. The hen will flatten out or squat down to the ground and the rooster steps up onto her back while still holding onto the feathers of her neck for balance. The hen lifts her tail slightly to offer access to her cloaca and the rooster touches his cloaca to hers. There is no penetration of sexual organs as happens with mammals since a birds anatomy is different. A Sperm packet is transferred to the hen via this contact. This is all over in 15 to 30 seconds and the rooster goes on to find another hen to mate with.
