Popis: The aim of the study was to evaluate the quality of organic eggs from hens of different genotypes and ages. The study investigated the physical characteristics, nutritive value and foaming properties of egg whites from Hy-Line Brown commercial layers, native Greenleg Partridge hens included in the conservation program, and Araucana hens laying blue-shelled eggs. Genotype had an effect on egg weight, albumen height and Haugh units. The vitamin A content of egg yolks was greater for Greenleg Partridge compared to Hy-Line Brown hens (P 0.05). Layer age had a significant effect on egg weight, yolk weight and color, and the presence of meat and blood spots (P
