That is the beauty of most bird species if the egg is viable (meaning the female “hen” has mated with a male bird) then the egg can be hatched and raised by almost any bird species.The real reason for the chicken & goose war...

Annihilator thought he was a mother....
Everything has to eat.
Fun Wildlife fact: most cuckoo bird species lay their eggs in other bird breeds nests after knocking out the host birds eggs so they will be raised by a surrogate mother.
Mostly unknown chicken egg fact,
You would be surprised at how many people don't know that the eggs you eat are the unfertilized eggs.
I’m guessing probably 90% of the general public.
If its not fertilized then what is that little white part in the egg. HA HA
Funny you said that I did watch that today on tv. They knock out one egg and lay one in its place. It will hatch first and when the other eggs hatch the baby will knock them out of the nest. The mother bird will keep feeding it for months and it will grow to three time the size of the surrogate mother.
I think I know where your going but honestly that’s part of the umbilical between the yoke and the rest of the egg, in a fertilized egg that would not be white but would be red from drawing protein into the yoke from the rest of the fluid in the egg.
Yes you did know where I was going. HA HA
Chickens, dumb as the rocks they peck at thinking they are food.

That is a very violent chicken.
