Homozygous and vnc¹⁴/vnc^BDk females produce fewer eggs than wild type, the majority of which are shortened along the anterior/posterior axis and collapsed. Eggs laid by mutant females often have defects in the shape or position of the dorsal appendages (24.6% for homozygous females and 28.2% for vnc¹⁴/vnc^BDk females), such as appendages that are closely apposed or fused. Many egg chambers that appear to be at stage 11 or older based on follicle cell morphology contain unusually small oocytes and persistent nurse cells, phenotypes typically resulting from a failure of nurse cells to dump their contents into the oocyte (44.4% for homozygous females and 38.5% for vnc¹⁴/vnc^BDk females). 50% of homozygous egg chambers contain abnormal numbers of germline cells, showing both defects in cystocyte division (both too many and too few division) and in cyst encapsulation. 13.3% of vnc¹⁴/vnc^BDk egg chambers contain abnormal numbers of germline cells showing both defects in cystocyte division and in cyst encapsulation. Fusome defects are seen in 46.7% of homozygous and 28.3% of vnc¹⁴/vnc^BDk germaria. Chromatin reorganisation in the nurse cell nuclei is disrupted in mutant egg chambers, with many of the nurse cells beyond stage 5 retaining the condensed "five-blob" configuration of chromatin (70.3% of homozygous nurse cells, 72.8% of vnc¹⁴/vnc^BDk nurse cells) in contrast to wild-type nurse cells at this stage (3.2%).

Hemizygous vnc¹⁴/Df(3L)AC1 females produce no eggs. Homozygous vnc¹⁴ females produce a few flaccid eggs with abnormal chorions (abnormal numbers of chorionic filaments and thin chorionic membranes). vnc²/vnc¹⁴ heterozygotes do produce eggs. Hemizygous vnc¹⁴/Df(3L)AC1 ovaries are small and comprised of tumorous egg chambers. Nuclei within these egg chambers appear undifferentiated. Homozygous vnc¹⁴ egg chambers range from too few through normal numbers to too many nurse cells.
