In this study the effect of "K" gene (rate of feathering) on some economical traits of local chicken was investigated. The sexual development of the fast and slow feathering birds was also studied. Body, testicular and comb weights were recorded together with testicular weight factor and comb weight factor from five weeks to 25 weeks of age.
