Mothers can influence the behaviour and physiology of their young even before hatch. In birds that occurs through the deposition of hormones and nutrients into the egg. Mother-hens can be housed in various systems that offer different challenges to the bird. Our project will investigate how housing a mother-hen can affect the resilience of their offspring. This data can be used to improve farm practices and to decrease the occurrence of behaviour and welfare issues in egg production.
