It would be nice to have a section explaining the chorion for other animals also. --193.175.8.13 (talk) 11:58, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. The article is gratuitously human-centric, especially when the importance of the amniotic egg to the evolution of terrestrial animals is taken into account. --134.69.2.205 (talk) 20:22, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is an article linked at the top for more information on the chorion in invertebrates, but the linked article contains no information about that topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.116.94.210 (talk) 14:07, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Funny y'all should say this. I actually created a template for issues like this called {{human-centric}} that I keep hoping will get wider use. I began by sticking it on this article, then decided to just fix the problem myself by merging in the content from the existing article "Chorion (egg)" and then turning that into a redirect. I wonder how many other hundreds of talk pages have comments like those above. And I thought I had coined the term "human-centric"! Glad to know I am not the only person who feels this way about such articles. If only the others above had Wikipedia editor accounts and not just IP addresses. Oh well. I hope the article is better now. KDS4444 (talk) 19:28, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Membrane suggestion/observation

A chicken egg has a membrane in contact with the shell that can be found after the contents of yolk and albumin are removed by perforation and suction of the contents. I've no idea if chickens are unique in this way and realize that wikipedia does not publish individual observations, so I call it to the attention of the editor or anyone else who does know what it is.

The membrane is quite resilient and resists removal, but bleach can destroy it and seems to at least partially dissolve it.

If it's the chorion, was it in contact with the shell before the removal described or did it somehow expand to make contact, since the picture and labeling makes it seem to be surrounding the other liquid contents, but with an air gap outside it.

Either way, I hope the issue is addressed and clarified.

Broken link

The link to the image "Diagram showing the chorion of a chicken egg" is broken and the image will not display.
