Abstract
⺠The albumen of pheasant eggs is a source of testosterone for developing chicks. ⺠Females from testosterone-injected eggs copulated less than control females. ⺠Males from testosterone-injected eggs obtained more copulations with control females. ⺠Egg testosterone can have long-term effects on reproductive behavior.
