Why is there no chicken in the eggs?

Question

This is a weird question, but when we buy eggs from the supermarket why or how is it yolk?

But when we see a chicken lay an egg, theres a chick inside the egg?

Does this mean the yolk is infact the chicken? I'm confused.

Answer 1

becasue when the egg gets cold it kills the chick and it turns to that yellow stuff the yolk !!!!!!!!

andythink else

Answer 2

the white and yellow part of an egg are just food supplies for the chicken.First the egg should be fertilized then the real egg which looks like a tiny egg inside the yolk will grow while feeding through these food supplies( plus heat from the hen's body)

Answer 3

Eggs from the grocery store have not been fertilized.  An infertile egg is not a potential chicken.  For there to be a potential chicken in the egg, it had to have been fertilized before the shell was formed.

Answer 4

The egg you buy in the supermarkets arnt fertilized

Answer 5

An egg is an egg, more or less.  Whether it's a human's or a chicken's.  It cannot grow to become a new person or chicken without a sperm.  But if it is fertilized, it is large enough to contain nutrients for the growing creature to live off for a while.  For a human, that's only enough to implant in the uterus a bit later.  But for a chicken, it has to last until it hatches.  Without a growing embryo inside, those nutrients just go to waste unless you make them into breakfast!

It is occasionally possible to get a fertilized egg from a grocery store.  The growing embryo starts as just a small red speck and then grows a network of blood vessels around the yolk to be able to consume its energy better.  So if you see a red speck inside an egg, that was an embryo that didn't make it (it wouldn't have survived long when removed from the warmth of a nest).  It doesn't happen often at all, but it does happen every now and then when a rooster gets loose or something.  But by and large, no rooster, no embryo and an egg is just an egg.

Answer 6

in order for a chick to grow in an egg it needs to be fertalized by a rooster.  The chickens that make the eggs we guy are not around roosters, hence no chicks.

Answer 7

the yolk is nothing if it hasnt been fertilized.

Answer 8

The yolk isn't the chicken, the yolk is what the chicken eats.

Answer 9

The eggs you buy at the grocery store haven't been fertilized.  The ones the babies come out of have been fertilized by a rooster.
