Abstract
Chondrodystrophic and normal 24-day old embryos obtained from matings of known heterozygotes (Ch/ch) of the Beltsville Small White turkey stock were compared for bone lengths and for bone weights as a percent of embryo weights. Bone and embryo weights were less in the chondrodystrophic embryos, and the bone weights were reduced proportionally more than embryo weights. The lengths of the humeri and tibiotarsi were shorter in chondrodystrophic embryos, and the tibiotarsi were shortened more than the humeri.
