Effects of imperfect albinism (sal-s) on egg production in two lines of chickens.

Poultry science - 1 Apr 1991

Silversides F G, Crawford R D

Abstract excerpt

Two trials were conducted with two different lines of chickens to determine whether a gene for sex-linked imperfect albinism (sal-s) affected various egg production traits. In a line with relatively good egg production, sexual maturity was delayed for albino compared with nonalbino hens, but overall egg production by albinos was higher. The increased production resulted in eggs with reduced yolk and shell...
