The embryo consumes the yolk, and cells turn it into more of the chick enabling it to grow.
Yes! Egg is good for chickens in moderation. You would want to cook it first though so they do not get in the habit of pecking eggs. Contrary to the previous answer... egg yolks are not baby chicks! Not all chicken eggs are fertilized. Hens lay eggs whether there is a rooster present or not; we get three eggs a day from our three ladies and no roosters are allowed in city limits. You are not eating baby chickens when you eat eggs! You can even feed your chicken...chicken!
No, chicken egg yolks can vary in size depending on the age and breed of the chicken, as well as its diet. Younger chickens tend to lay smaller eggs with smaller yolks, while older chickens may lay larger eggs with larger yolks. Additionally, free-range chickens that have access to a diverse diet may produce eggs with richer and more vibrant yolks.
All eggs have yokes, this is the nucleus of the cell. However, hens lay eggs without fetuses inside when the eggs are not fertilized by a male rooster.
Turning chicken eggs is important to prevent the yolks from sticking to the shell membrane, which can cause developmental issues and death in the embryos. If you forgot to turn the eggs, it's best to start turning them consistently from now on to improve the chances of successful hatching.
You do not need a cock to get an egg from a chicken. If you want to have fertilized eggs that will hatch into chicks there has to be a cock.
All eggs have yolk. Fertilized eggs will have a little white circle on the yolk. Unfertilized eggs will have an oval instead of a circle on the yolk.
That is approximately 7.5 yolks from Large eggs.
Some eggs have two yolks because two yolks were released from the hen's ovaries at the same time and ended up in the same egg.

Yes. Chicks come from fertilized and incubated eggs.

Double yolk eggs are formed when a hen releases two yolks into the same eggshell. This can happen due to a hen's reproductive system being stimulated to release two yolks at once, or because of a genetic predisposition in certain breeds of hens.

There are:216 - 220 calories in the yolks of two large eggs..
A peregrine falcon is a bird of prey, and the chicks do hatch from eggs.

While double yolks can produce two chicks it will often cause problem because they are competing for nutrents and space within the shell. I have had twin bantam chicks hatch from what was obviously a double yolked egg. Fraternal twins, one cock and one hen.
