Chicken eggs are oval-shaped reproductive structures produced by female chickens. They are a common food source around the world, known for their high protein content and versatility in cooking. Chicken eggs come in various colors, including white and brown, depending on the breed of the chicken. Each egg consists of a hard outer shell, a protective membrane, egg white (albumen), and a yolk, which contains essential nutrients. Chicken eggs can be prepared in numerous ways, such as boiling, frying, or baking, and are often used in recipes for dishes like omelets and cakes.
