Illustration of the egg laying stage and egg-related traits investigated. Chickens were reared over the course of a year from hatching. Eggs were inspected for external and internal traits at early (first egg age), middle (300-days-old), and late (400-days-old) egg laying stages. Egg production rates were calculated every four weeks for 22- to 62-week-old.
