                                An egg is a nutritional powerhouse, containing all the necessary nutrients to create new life. But where do eggs get their nutrients? This process is a fascinating journey determined by the laying hen's diet and intricate biological systems. The nutrients a hen consumes are strategically deposited into the yolk, egg white, and shell over a precise timeline during egg formation.
