Popis: Eggs from Transylvanian naked neck (TN) chickens (n = 560) were stored in cold room (at 16 ± 1.5oC) in daily batches of 80 eggs each, for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7d either with broad (BEU) or narrow end up (NEU). Additional day in storage caused significant (P 7d > 1d = 4d = 5d > 3d pattern. DIS in 2d stood in-between 6d and 7d groups. Similar hatchability of set eggs (HSE; P > 0.05) was recorded in eggs stored for 1d, 2d, 3d and 4d. These were significantly (P 2d > 3d > 4d = 5d > 6d > 7d. BEU eggs (P
