Explanation:
After fertilisation takes place inside the body of the hen, the fertilised egg or zygote divides repeatedly to form embryo which travel down the oviduct. 2)As it travels down the oviduct, many protective layers are formed around the embryo. ... The embryo takes about 3 weeks to develop into a complete chick.

The female body is where the chicken embryo develops. This type of fertilisation is known as internal fertilisation.
Explanation:
- Fertilization takes occur in the oviduct of the hen. Fertilization takes place right after ovulation. Albumen and shell are secreted by the fertilised egg. An egg travels the oviduct channel for about 25/26 hours after ovulation before being deposited.
- The ovary and the oviduct are two elements of the female chicken's reproductive system. In contrast to other female animals, chickens normally only have one ovary. The right ovary stops developing when the female chick hatches, but the left one continues to mature.
- The ovary is a collection of sacs attached to the rear of the hen, roughly midway between the neck and tail. The chicken hatches fully developed, containing thousands of little eggs, each ovum enclosed within its own follicle. As the female reaches adulthood, these ova develop into yolks one by one.
- All of the remaining elements of the egg are linked to the yolk as it goes through the oviduct. The chalazae, albumen, shell membranes, and shell wrap the yolk to form the complete egg, which is then deposited. This cycle usually takes a bit more than 24 hours to complete. About 30 minutes after the egg is laid, another yolk is released, and the cycle repeats.
