In the present study , a total of 60 eggs were assessed for egg quality parameters of Kadaknath and Vanaraja chicken reared under deep litter farming system . All chickens were provided uniform diet of Chick (0-8 weeks), Grower (9-20 weeks)and Layer (above 20 weeks) ration. Except for the shape index, the internal egg quality parameters were significantly (P less than 0.05) higher in Vanaraja eggs as compared to Kadaknath. Results revealed that the quality of egg of Vanaraja chickenwas found to be better as compared to Kadaknath chicken.
