Yolk concentrations of hormones and glucose and egg weight and egg dimensions in unincubated chicken eggs, in relation to egg sex and hen body weight.

Highlights: [•] No sex related differences for yolk T, E2, A4, P4 and DHT in unincubated chicken eggs. [•] No sex related differences for egg weight, length and width in chicken eggs. [•] Yolk E2 significantly predicted by interaction of sex of egg and hen body weight. [•] Concentrations of yolk A4 significantly associated with hen body weight. [•] Associations found among various egg parameters i.e. egg hormones and dimensions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
