Abstract :This study was carried out to investigate the effect of egg shape index on pore number and hatching performance in Sussex chickens. The material of the study consisted of 63 eggs obtained from the Sussexbreed chicken flock of a private enterprise engaged in chicken rearing in Konya. Eggs were divided into two groups as below 75 (Group-1, 75 0.05). As a result, the obtained data showed that the shape index had an effect on the external egg quality and chick weight along with the number of pores in the eggs in Sussex chickens.Keywords : Chick weight, external egg quality, pores, shape index
