Abstract

PARTHENOGENETIC chickens have been reported as embryos or chicks that lived to a maximum of eight days1-3, except for one triploid White Leghorn chicken4. This chicken was from a virgin White Leghorn hen being tested as a control for a Dark Cornish-type stock which was under genetic selection for a high rate of parthenogenetic development. A cytogenetic study is in progress to determine the origin of parthenogenesis and to obtain parthenogenetic chickens. © 1973 Nature Publishing Group.
