Genetic correlations (upper triangle) and phenotypic correlations (above diagonal) and with heritability estimates in the diagonal. AFE_AH $=$ first egg albumen height; AH32, AH36, AH40, AH44, AH48, AH52, AH56, AH60, AH66, AH72 $=$ albumen height every 4 weeks from 32 to 60 weeks old, and every 6 weeks from 60 to 72 weeks old.
