Each sample composed of (3 pooled eggs) were prepared to measure the levels of heavy metal contents (lead and cadmium) and estimation of some antibiotic residues (Tetracycline and erythromycin). The mean values of lead in farm, native and organic table egg samples were 0.010 ± 0.002, 0.019 ± 0.003 and 0.036 ± 0.004 ppm, respectively. While mean levels of cadmium content of farm, native and organic table hen's egg samples were 0.004 ± 0.001, 0.012 ± 0.001 and 0.016 ± 0.002 ppm, respectively. All the examined hen's eggs samples were within permissible limit for lead and cadmium. Tetracyclines and Erythromycin couldn't be detected from any of the examined table hen's egg samples.
