However, to better represent the hens' genetic potentials, and based on the highly significant correlation between each hen's means at 200d and 300d in this study (data not shown) and a previous one ( Wang et al., 2023a ), the results presented and discussed in this article are the means of these parameters over both ages, defined as L*200&300, a*200&300, b*200&300, and SCI200&300.
