Two broiler breeder flocks (Ross 308) were reared in
one region under similar nutrition, management, and
vaccination programs. Male (3000) and female (5000)
breeder chicks were monitored from day 1 in terms of bone
growth, especially shank length and diameter, with the
hope that this may result in developing a baseline for Ross
308 breeder flocks. A total of 5% of chicks were selected
randomly and kept separate in the middle of the house,
and broiler weight, shank length, and shank diameter were
measured during weeks 4–20 of age. Mortality rate was
recorded daily. The length of the right shank (tibia tarsus)
measured from the hock to the footpad and diameter of
shank after 28 days were measured using a Vernier caliper
