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.
