Abstract
A crooked neck condition in Japanese quail in which affected birds did not deviate phenotypically from normal ones until six to seven days post hatch and which appeared in both sexes was shown to be inherited. Mode of inheritance of this condition could not be determined. Possibilities are (1) a single pair of recessive genes with low penetrance (2) multiple genes. Inbreeding degeneration may also be involved.
