What is the function of the chalaza of the egg?
The chalaza in an egg is a rope-like, white "thing" that you might find in a scrambled or fried egg. If you look carefully, you can see it in a raw egg. What is does is it stabilizes or suspends the yolk, so that in a fresh egg the yolk floats in the middle of the albumin (egg white). When candling an egg, one thing you look for is that the yolk of an older egg will be near the shell and definitely visible. In a freshly laid egg, the you see a "shadow" of the yolk, and as you twirl the egg, the chalaza keeps the yolk in the center and away from the shell.
Is the hen egg fertilized after the shell formation?
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.
