The influence of genetic strain on production and egg quality amongst four strains of laying hens housed in a cage-free environment by Bhavisha P. Gulabrai, Allison N. Pullin, Kenneth E. Anderson, Aaron S. Kiess

“…H&N Whites had the lowest vitelline membrane strength, shell weight, and shell thickness (p < 0.0001). In conclusion, the Hy-Line Brown hens may be better suited for cage-free production based on overall greater egg production and quality metrics compared to the three other strains used in this study. …”
