TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the genetic correlations between bone composition and bone strength in Rhode Island Red laying hens and found novel genetic markers that are significantly associated with cortical lipid, cortical mineral scattering, medullary organic matter, and MEDULARY mineralization.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors estimate the heritability of the shape and size of the premaxillary bone within the top beak of two pure laying hen lines, suggesting that bone shape could be incorporated into selection indices to help reduce the incidence of severe feather pecking.
Genome wide association analysis of cuticle deposition in laying hens
Zhang Wang,Ian F. Dunn,P. Wilson,Sandra Poyatos Pertinez,Janet E. Fulton,Jesus Arango,B. B. Andersson,M. Schmutz,Anna Wolc +8 more
TL;DR: The results support the polygenic nature of the trait and the information will help in the future to understand the genetic variance and what might control cuticle deposition and the microbiological safety of the egg.
