Short summary
Our study aimed to evaluate the effects of group size and the laying month on egg quality and the impact of group size on corticosterone and IgG levels in goose eggs in Hungary. From January to February, we demonstrated a decrease in egg width, shell thickness, shell weight, yolk weight, yolk ratio, yolk diameter, yolk colour with fan, and b* and an increase in albumen ratio and yolk pH. Regarding group size, the albumen pH, IgG, and corticosterone levels were higher in the small groups.
