Egg weight (EW),egg length (EL), egg width (EWd) and shape index (SI) was the studiedparameters.  A total of 1920 hatchingeggs which were obtained from middle-aged (39 week) broiler breeders were used.In the first stage of this study, EW, EL, EWd were measured and SI values werecalculated from these parameters. Average EW was 64.40 ± 0.04 g, EL was 57.35 ±1.31 mm, EWd was 44.81 ± 0.61 mm and SI was 78.19 ± 0.10 in eggs of this study.In the second stage, coefficients of variation, correlation coefficients andregression equations were calculated for determining of relations among theseparameters. Significant (p < 0.05) and significant correlation levels amongEW and EL and EWd were determined (r = 0.582 and 0.734, respectively).Meanwhile, significant and high coefficient correlation among EW and SI was notfound (p > 0.05) like egg width and egg length. Meanwhile, it was determinedthat egg width was more important variable than egg length and shape index forestimation of egg weight. Also, it was found that egg weight value could beestimated in higher accuracy by using egg width values instead of egg lengthand shape index values.

Yumurtaağırlığı (YA), yumurta boyu (YB), yumurta eni (YE) ve şekil indeksi (Şİ) buaraştırmada incelenen özellikler olmuştur. Araştırmada orta yaşlı (39 hafta)etlik damızlıklardan elde edilen 1920 yumurta kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın ilkaşamasında bu yumurtalardaki YA, YB, YG değerleri ölçülmüş ve bu verilerkullanılarak Şİ değerleri hesaplanmıştır. İkinci aşamada bu özelliklerarasındaki ilişkilerin belirlenmesi için varyasyon katsayıları, aralarındakikorelasyon katsayıları ile regresyon denklemi hesaplanmıştır. Çalışılanyumurtalarda YA 64.40 ± 0.04 g, YB 57.35 ± 1.31 mm ve YG 44.81 ± 0.61 mm ve Şİ78.19 ± 0.10 olmuştur. YA ile YB ve YG arasında önemli (p < 0.05) seviyedebir korelasyon olduğu belirlenmiştir (sırasıyla r = 0.582 ve 0.734). Bunakarşılık YA ile Şİ arasında yumurta eni ve yumurta boyuna benzer şekilde önemlive yüksek seviyede bir ilişki tespit edilmemiştir. Buna göre, yumurtaağırlığını tahminde yumurta genişliğinin, yumurta boyu ve şekil indeksine göredaha önemli bir değişken olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, yumurta boyu veyaşekil indeksi değeri yerine yumurta genişliği değeri kullanılarak yumurtaağırlığının daha yüksek bir doğrulukla tahmin edilebileceği bulunmuştur(sırasıyla 53.87%, 33.87% ve 0.08%).
