Abstract
INTRODUCTIONJULL (1923) called attention to an increase in variability in live weight in Barred Plymouth Rock chicks during the first four or five weeks of life. He found that after a period of high variability which lasted until the tenth week for males and the twelfth week for females, there was a general tendency toward decrease in variability in live weight for both sexes. Latimer (1924) found that the variability in live weight of White Leghorn chicks was greatest at five weeks of age. Jull and Quinn (1924) found that the weight of the chick was closely related to the weight of the egg.Schneider and Dunn (1924) showed that the inheritance of body weight in the domestic fowl is extremely complicated, for they found that body weight was three to six times as variable as bone measurements.
