Adult females were heavier than adult males BW40 1 391 g vs 1 310 g ES40 was lower than ES30 kg cm2 vs kg cm2. Heritabilities were found to be low and for ES40 ES30 NEGG52 NEGG40 FL20 EYW40 and AGE1EGG respectively to medium and for EW40 BW40 EW40 EW30 BW20 and BW40 respectively . Fifty genetic correlations were tabulated. The pattern of the genetic correlations for the traits to be selected showed that NEGG52 was highly positively correlated with NEGG40 rg uncorrelated with the body weight and was negatively correlated with AGE1EGG rg EW40 rg EW30 rg EYW40 rp ES30 rp ES40 rg FL20 rp and EW40 BW40 rg . Egg weights body weights and eggshell strength .
