Egg Sandwich

Q: how does a drake fertilize an egg?
State: Florida
A: Bird eggs are fertilized while still inside the female, internal fertilization, and BEFORE the shell is formed. It's a bit confusing when you realize that fish and amphibians do fertilize eggs AFTER they have been laid but the reptiles, birds, and mammals all have internal fertilization.
Thanks for asking.
