Question

List the various steps that lead to the formaton of egg of a hen.

Answer 1

, I mentioned that young chickens first coming into lay can often have little egg-laying mishaps.  Sometimes a young pullet will just lay an egg yolk wrapped in a membrane, and no shell.  Some eggs are strangely shaped, or may contain no yolk, or a double yolk.

By the time we’re done with this post, we hope you have a slightly better understanding, from the hen’s perspective, as to what is involved in producing wonderful farm-fresh eggs.

To better understand where eggs come from, and how they are formed, it’s necessary to start with some basic anatomy.  The egg itself is composed of key structures, each of which is formed at a different point during it’s journey from the hen’s ovary, through the oviduct.
