Poor nutrition is often the cause of disease or malformation in eggs. Chickens who do not get some form of preventative medication soon after hatch often develop digestive and oviduct diseases. If you are getting shell problems in eggs then supplement your hens diet with extra calcium or provide a good quality layer formula feed from any reputable feed store.

What does the egg white of a chicken egg help the embryos?
The egg white, or albumen, is 90% water and 10% dissolved protein. It's function for the developing chick is to provide nutrition in addition to the yolk.
Are unfertilized chicken eggs OK to eat?
Yes, If you had a fertilized egg it would be developing into a chick. Unfertilized eggs are the ones you buy in the stores.
Is the yolk in a chicken egg the chicken or is the yolk in the egg the chickens food?
The yolk in an egg is the food for the developing embryo, with the white (or albumen) surrounding it acting to support and protect it from the outside environment. Your average store-bought eggs are unfertilized, so the embryo has not developed and is typically not visible.
If a chicken stops eating calcium will it stop laying eggs?
No, but the egg shells may get thin. I dry out old egg shells and then break them up into very small pieces and feed them to the hens.
Witch was first chicken or the egg?

Wkich came first the chicken or the egg?
In my opinion, the egg. I know, I know... you're screaming "but what laid the egg??" Whatever the changes were that produced what we can properly call a chicken, those changes came about in an individual bird, and possibly in several individual birds around the same period of time. That bird hatched out of an egg. The egg was laid by a bird, but not by a chicken, properly speaking. So the egg containing the chicken happened, and out of that egg was hatched-- the chicken. On the other hand, the changes that finally produced what we properly call a 'chicken' were many in number, and happened, we presume, over a long period of time. It is probably not correct to think of the 'chicken' as appearing very suddenly, in the laying of one egg. There were first birds that were not very much like chickens, then birds that gradually became more and more 'chicken-like', until we reach Col. Sanders. In fact, what's to say that chickens are not continuing to evolve as we speak? Maybe they're not even chickens yet... I'm kidding, but you get the idea.

yes because the chicken is inside of the egg.if the chicken wasnt it would be called just an egg
What goes first the chicken or the egg?
In the context of evolution, the egg came first. The development of hard shells around eggs allowed for animals to lay them outside the body, protecting and nourishing the embryo inside. This evolutionary adaptation predates the existence of chickens as we know them today.
