      Fully penetrant egg chamber phenotype: nurse cells fail to deliver all their cytoplasm to the oocyte resulting in small oocytes surrounded by an egg shell. Strong allele of chic.

      (Cooley et al., 1992)

      Eggs are tiny due to a failure to transport nurse cell content into the oocyte.
