Where do the yolk and white go when an egg hatches?

The yolk and white of an egg are the food source for the developing chick. As the chick grows, it consumes the yolk and white, absorbing the nutrients it needs to develop.

Here's a breakdown:

* Yolk: The yolk is a rich source of fat, protein, vitamins, and minerals. It provides the chick with energy and essential nutrients for growth.

* White: The white (also called albumen) is mainly composed of water and protein. It provides hydration and additional protein for the growing chick.

By the time the chick is ready to hatch, the yolk and white are almost completely consumed. The last bit of yolk is typically absorbed shortly after hatching, providing the chick with extra energy and nutrients for its first few days outside the shell.
