The changes of the basic components of the body of females: water, fat, and lean dry weight during the breeding cycle are analysed. On the day of ovulation of the first egg the amounts of these components were greatest. The fat content in the body of female on the day of ovulation of the first egg was proportional to its clutch-size. During incubation period the females restored fat used during laying eggs. The amount of the lean dry weight of female body decreased during successive broods. The amounts of the above components of the body of females exert an influence on number of breeding females, clutch-size and number of broods per female during breeding season.
