Abstract
White Leghorn eggs collected from breeding pens at 9 am, 11 am, 1.30 pm an 3.30 pm were set to study the effect of time of oviposition (collection) on percent fertility, hatchability, and embryonic mortality. The results revealed a significant increase in both percent fertility and hatchability of fertile eggs set, with a proportionate decrease in embryonic mortality in the eggs collected in the afternoon in comparison to the eggs collected in the forenoon.
