Abstract
Observations on the water intake of four laying hens indicate that consumption is related to the egg formation. The maximum intakes occur just after the oviposition (50 ml/h) and during the albumen plumping (37 ml/h). Data obtained around the time of oviposition suggest that at this moment water intake is connected to oviposition rather than ovulation. A comparison between water and food intake is also presented.Keywords
