Genetic variation in the rate of early embryonic development of the chick and the relationship between pre-hatching developmental rate and post-hatching growth

A study was carried out to determine if genetic variation existed in the rate of embryonic development of a line of chick embryos of the New Hampshire breed, and to examine the extent to which variation in early developmental rate, including that attributable to genotype, could be related to post-h...
