So cool...The fetus is formed in the Infundibulum. It lloks a bit like a cauliflower head. Each head a potential fetus. One by one these 'heads' drop off and travel to the Magnum where the white is formed around the fetus.
There is a sharp bend after the Magnum and this is often where misfires end up cooking.
After this the membrane is formed in the Isthmus. Once the membrane is formed which helps hold the fetus and white together, generally the egg will make it's way to the Uterus where the shell is put on. This can be the next problem stage. Bumps and other imperfections in the shell can make the journey to the vent and out difficult. Eggs are laid wet and if they don't get lubricated properly they can and do stick. That is eggbinding. Everything before an egg with a formed shell is another problem.
