This study was conducted to examine the seasonal (spring, summer, autumn, and winter) effect on the external and internal quality parameters of chicken eggs produced in different rearing systems (cage system, family-type system, and free-range system). A total of 600 egg samples were collected, with 50 eggs from each rearing system in each season.
