Where do chicken fat vanish in broths?

I've been boiling chicken broth and notice oil collected on
top of the broth. I tried to remove them whenever possible. I
never understood where the saturated fats (white fat) on the
chicken thigh went into the soup. When boiling chicken soup
full of chicken fat and meat, do the saturated fats stay on the
bottom or the top of the broth?

Thanks

All the free fat floats to the top. The fat storage tissues are not pure fat. There
are proteins and other substances there, which give the appearance of highly
saturated fat. When you boil it, you render the fat, and it floats to the top. The
raw chicken fat has a deceptive appearance, is all.
