Abstract: In order to understand the influence of somatotype and feather speed on the egg quality in Wenshang Barred chickens, the egg quality of four strains of large rapid feather, large slow feather, small rapid feather and small slow feather at 42 weeks of age were measured. The GLM program of SAS 9.2 software was used to analyze the relevant data. The influences of somatotype, feather speed and their interaction on the egg quality were examined.The coefficient of variation of various egg quality indexes of the four strains of Wenshang Barred chickens were calculated. The results showed that there were significant differences in egg weight and haugh unit among different somatotype or feather speed（P＜0.05）, and there were significant differences in egg shape index, shell thickness and yolk color among different feather speed（P＜0.05）. After the interaction of the two factors, there were different in egg weight, yolk color and haugh unit among the four strains of Wenshang Barred chickens. Compared with the other three strains, the eggs of the large rapid feather strain were the heaviest, the haugh unit of the large slow feather strain were the largest. The egg weight and yolk color of the rapid feathering chicken were significantly better than that of the slow feathering chicken. The results showed that the coefficient of variation of eggshell strength was large and the homogeneity of character was poor. The egg weight and protein quality of Wenshang Barred chickens were affected by feather speed and somatotype, the yolk color was affected by feather speed greatly, and most egg quality characters had a good prospect of genetic improvement.
