The chick develops form the yolk, so the chick IS the yolk. The white, or the albumen, is what the chick feeds off of when it is developing. Bloodspots in eggs mean that the eggs have been fertilised.

The white part of an egg is the amniotic fluid that the chick floats around in while protected inside the egg. The Yolk sack is actually the nouruishent for the chick while it is incubating inside the egg.

In mammals, there is no yolk sac, nourishment is provided through the umbilical cord and the placenta. When a woman's water breaks that means that the membrane protecting the uterus has broken and the "water" is really amniotic fluid.
