This study was carried out to investigate the effects of age of hen and oviposition time on egg weight, egg shell quality and e88 shape index in White Leghorn laying hens. The data were collected from 150 laying hens for about 4 months from September 1, 1986 to January 6, 1987. The results obtained from this study were summarized as follows; The percentage of the eggs produced before noon was decreased and that of the eggs produced after noon was increased as the hen gets older. Egg weight was increased rapidly to 270 days of age but after 270 days of age the rate of egg weight increase was slowly downed. The egg shell thickness became thinner and egg shell breaking strength was reduced and egg shape index was increased as the hen gets older. The egg weight was decreased as the oviposition time was proceeded and the regression coefficients of egg weight on oviposition time were -0.6788--0.4170, which means that the egg weight was decreased 0.4170-0.6788g per one hour delay of oviposition time. Egg shell thickness was increased 0. 0.00377-0.00643mm and egg shell breaking strength improved 0.0287-0.034kg/$ extrm{cm}^2$ per one hour delay of oviposition time. But it seems that there was no relationship between the oviposition time and the egg shape index.
