Abstract
The production of quail–Peking duck, Peking duck–quail and Maya duck–chicken chimeras by transferring donor (quail, Peking duck and Maya duck) blastoderm cells into the subgerminal cavity of the recipient (Peking duck, quail and chicken) eggs is described. Production of chimeras by transferring blastoderm cells into the recipient embryo should provide a basis for the investigation of fertilisation barriers in interspecies germline chimeras. It might help to protect endangered birds, contribute to further understanding of physiology and embryonic development in poultry, and provide a technical method for poultry transgenics.
