Answer Details
During the process of egg formation, albumen deposition begins in the magnum. The magnum is the second section of the hen's oviduct where the egg white or albumen is secreted. The albumen is produced by the magnum over a period of approximately 3 hours, during which the egg rotates to form its final shape. After the albumen is deposited, the egg then moves into the isthmus section of the oviduct, where the shell membranes are formed around it. Finally, the egg enters the uterus where it is coated with the shell and laid.
