Significant ecotype-based variation in egg traits was identified among the indigenous chicken ecotypes.
Apac hens produced the heaviest and longest eggs, while Gulu hens produced the lightest eggs observed.
Katakwi eggs exhibited the highest yolk depth and yolk ratio values among the ecotypes studied.
The study highlights the potential for enhancing egg quality in Uganda's indigenous chickens through selective breeding.
