Eggs at stored 7 days different signi cantly with treatment 0 and 3 days (P <0.05) at 41.25±9.07 vs. 35.59±6.14 vs. 35.59±6.14 (egg weight) and 14.81±3.72 vs. 11.55±2.35 vs. 12.16±2.12 (yolk weight). As for the best HU score is at 0 day storage period eggs (fresh) (P <0.05) compared with 3 and 7 days. The percentages of yolk color almost evenly for all treatments ranging from a score of 3-10.
