Inheritance of Egg Size 

 and Egg Character 



By F. A. Hays 



A study of egg size and egg character, covering nine generations of 

 Rhode Island Reds, is summarized in this report. The data furnish 

 more definite information on the inheritance of egg size, egg shape, 

 shell texture, shell porosity, and shell color; thus making it possible 

 to offer some specific recommendations to poultry breeders.
