Heritability on the diagonal, genetic correlations above the diagonal and phenotypic correlations down the diagonal, SE in parentheses. AFE represents age at first egg; EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4, and TEN represent total egg numbers in each of the five stages (from onset of laying eggs to 195 d, from 196 to 227 d, from 228 to 307 d, from 308 to 354 d and from onset of laying eggs to 354 d, respectively)
