Abstract
The fertilized egg must contain all the substances necessary for development if a viable chick is to result. This means that the hen herself must be fed on an adequate diet if the composition of the egg is to be satisfactory. It is not intended to consider here the effects of specific deficiencies in any great detail: for discussions of these topics the reader is referred to Beer (1969) and Romanoff (1972).
