The hen’s ovary contains more than 5 thousand eggs and only 10% of them can be converted into an egg during the period of use of the laying hen. Such a margin of reproductive
strength gives reason to think about its practical implementation. A more early maturing bird with the same intensity has advantages in egg
production, and this makes it relevant to work aimed at increasing early maturity (reducing the age of laying the first egg or reaching 50% of egg production). However, breeding
progress in terms of sexual maturity can lead to a decrease in the live weight of chickens below the limits of biological necessity. Phenotypic activation, subject to a deep analysis of the current level of knowledge of the biology of egg production, makes it possible to
increase the number of eggs laid by a bird during the period of use.
