Egg production and egg quality are complex sex-limited traits that may benefitfrom the implementation of marker-assisted selection. The primary objective ofthe current study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated withegg traits, egg production, and body weight in a chicken resource population.Layer (White Leghorn hens) and broiler (Cobb-Cobb roosters) lines were crossedto generate an F2 population of 508 hens over seven hatches. Phenotypes for 29traits (weekly body weight from hatch to 6 weeks, egg traits including egg,albumen, yolk, and shell weight, shell thickness, shell puncture score,percentage of shell, and egg shell colour at 35 and 55 weeks of age, as well asegg production between 16 and 55 weeks of age) were measured in hens of theresource population. Genotypes of 120 microsatellite markers on 28 autosomalgroups were determined, and interval mapping was conducted to identify putativeQTL. Eleven QTL tests representing two regions on chromosomes 2 and 4 surpassedthe 5% genome-wise significance threshold. These QTL influenced egg colour, eggand albumen weight, percent shell, body weight, and egg production. Thechromosome 4 QTL region is consistent with multiple QTL studies that definechromosome 4 as a critical region significantly associated with a variety oftraits across multiple resource populations. An additional 64 QTL testssurpassed the 5% chromosome-wise significance threshold.
