A region on chicken chromosome 2 affects both egg white thinning and egg weight [PDF]
We describe the results from genetic dissection of a QTL region on chicken chromosome 2, shown to affect egg weight and quality in an earlier genome scan of an F2 intercross between two divergent egg layer lines.

Genetic and phenotypic parameter estimates for body weights and egg production in Horro chicken of Ethiopia [PDF]
A breeding program has been established in 2008 to improve productivity of Horro chicken, an indigenous population in the western highlands of Ethiopia. The pedigree descended from 26 sires and 260 dams.

STRATEGIES FOR EGG PRODUCTION [PDF]
The view that egg production is adapted to counter, and thus provides a measure of, the relative hostility of the environment in which organsms must live has been expressed repeatedly (e.g., Stresemann, 1934; Rensch, 1938; Moreau, 1944; Schmalhausen, 1949; Skutch, 1949, 1967; Cole, 1954; and Smith, 1954).

Effect of High and Low Stocking Density on Age of Maturity, Egg Production, Egg Size Distribution in White and Brown Layer Hens: A Meta-analysis [PDF]
Data of four layers flocks (#31-34) from North Carolina Layer Performance and Management Test of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services were used in the meta-analysis to find if an increase in space allowance can affect egg production traits

Does egg production represent adult female copepod growth? A call to account for body weight changes [PDF]
An almost universal assumption in determining growth in copepods is that, over short periods, an individual adult female's net growth is equal to the amount of material expelled as eggs.
