Maternal microbes transfer to the embryonic gut from the magnum to the egg white. Microbial composition at the phylum (a) and genus (b) levels, unique and shared taxa between groups (c), and between sample types (d) in the magnum (abbreviated as mag), egg white (abbreviated as EW), and E15 and E21 embryonic gut, n = 6 hens/eggs/embryos. e Beta diversity of microbes in the magnum, egg white, and E15 and E21 embryonic gut (n = 12). f Overview of the beta diversity of microbes between groups in the magnum, egg white, and E15 and E21 embryonic gut (n = 6). g Beta diversity of microbes between groups specifically in the magnum, egg white, and E15 and E21 embryonic gut (n = 6). Ellipses denote 95% confidence intervals. h Source of the magnum (n = 12) proportions of microbes in the egg white and E15 and E21 embryonic gut estimated using SourceTracker with 100 Gibbs draws
