Abstract
Experiments are described from which it was established that when a hen's egg shell is loaded statically with a load that does not cause fracture, The residual variance was unaffected by variation in position of the egg in the clutch and organic content of the shell. There was no convincing evidence of genetic variation in shell material “ quality “.Keywords
