Table eggs are considered as one of protein sources which is a cheaper substitute for any other available animal protein . Each 1 kg of table eggs contain 1590 calories and 128 gms of protein therefore eggs are considered as distinguished food commodity . This study aims to estimating demand function for table eggs for the period (1993-2011) and to determine the influential factors in individual demand for table eggs through estimating demand function and forecasting the expected demand for table eggs during the period (2015-2020) . The individual estimated demand function of table eggs were best formulas estimated is the function of sin was calculated elasticities of this function,where the price elasticity of demand of about ( - 0.40 ) and income elasticity amounted (0.37) and this shows that the eggs commodity with the level of satisfaction average crosses elasticites between eggs and alternatives ( butter, cheese and Agaymr) has reached (0.10) and has also been forecasting an average per capita consumption as well as the overall demand is expected to table eggs where the results proved that the expected demand for table eggs will be about (15.15 ) billion in year 2020 the average per capita consumption of table eggs will be (145.45) eggs in year 2020
