Synopsis
The objectives of this work were to determine variations in structure and chemical components of the hen's egg. Analyses were made relative to moisture, ether extract and nitrogen content of eggs from selected individual hens. Significant differences were found between hens for all chemical components. The variation in the egg yolk protein was less than variation in other components.
