Effect of Long-Term Selection for Non-Destructive Deformation on Egg Shape in White Leghorns
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2016 Several conventional traits, including eggshell thickness, are commonly being improved genetically as a means to increase eggshell strength. At the same time, researchers have come to recognize that factors related to egg geometry, such as egg shape ...

The chicken embryo and its micro environment during egg storage and early incubation [PDF]
, 2008 When egg storage periods are prolonged (>7 days), hatchability and chick quality declines. The reason for this decline has been investigated, but is still not completely understood.

Effect of Uniformity of Eggshell Thickness on Eggshell Quality in Chickens
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2014 Numerous parameters have been proposed to evaluate eggshell quality in order to reduce losses from damaged eggshells. The uniformity of eggshell thickness (UET), as a newly proposed parameter, is defined as the reciprocal of the coefficient of variation

Eggshell structure, measurements, and quality-affecting factors in laying hens: a review
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2016 Eggshell quality is one of the most significant factors affecting poultry industry; it economically influences egg production and hatchability. Eggshell consists of shell membranes and the true shell that includes mammillary layer, palisade layer, and ...

A review of the relationship between eggshell colour and water vapour conductance [PDF]
, 2011 This review brings together the available literature that examines the effect of variations in pigmentation on the gas conductance of avian eggshells. Pheasant and Houbara bustard eggs provide some evidence that shell abnormalities can impact upon colour
