Although you cannot see it with the naked eye, there is a small spot on the yolk of the egg called the Germinal disk. Prior to the formation of the shell, a sperm cell will attach itself to this disk. The shell is formed around the yolk and albumen as it travels down the oviduct.
Under the right temperature and humidity conditions (incubation), that combining of germinal disk and sperm will start the embryo forming.
I have provided a link that shows the actual day to day formation of an egg to a chick.

LaoChickens and their eggs are the usual contents of a chicken coop.
Chicken coops can be as simple as a safe shelter from predators and the elements. A place for the birds to go out of the wind, rain and cold of winter. Most coops have nesting boxes within so the hens can lay eggs undisturbed and broody hens can sit on a clutch of eggs without being harassed by the rest of the flock. Another feature inside a chicken coop is usually the roost. A roost is nothing more than a place for the hens to sleep above the floor of the shelter. They can be shelves or 2 inch bars placed about 3 feet off the floor where the birds will perch, grasp the bar with their claws and fall asleep.
Some chicken coops are more elaborate with electricity providing lights, heaters and even running water. Most coops have feeding stations and a source of water. Floors are often covered in straw or wood chips to absorb the fecal matter. Chicken produce a large amount of fertilizer, some farms clean coops weekly while others us the deep litter method which means they cover the chicken droppings with fresh litter and allow the rotting manure (which turns solid like cement) to provide its own heat during cold winter months. Coops like this have advantages such as only needing to be completely cleaned twice per year but are relatively smelly to visitors not used to the smell of chicken manure.

Can dogs eat frozen chicken bones?
No, it is not safe for dogs to eat frozen chicken bones. Frozen bones can become more brittle and prone to splintering, which can cause serious injury to a dog's digestive system. It is best to give dogs raw bones that are appropriate for their size and supervised chewing.
