The development of pneumatisation in the postcranial skeleton has been investigated in a flock of Golden Comet pullets from hatching to 182 days posthatching. The timing of development of pneumatisation in the vertebral column, vertebral ribs, sternum and humerus has been demonstrated. No pneumatisation was encountered in the sternal ribs, os coxae or coracoid. Development of pneumatisation in the coracoid and humerus was also studied in a flock of White Leghorn pullets and cockerels from hatching to 126 days posthatching. In this group, regular pneumatisation of the humerus occurred after the time of onset and the coracoid was frequently pneumatised unlike the Golden Comets. The rate of development of pneumatisation in the humerus was more rapid in White Leghorn pullets than in cockerels and also more rapid than in Golden Comet pullets.
对一群金色彗星蛋鸡从孵化到孵化后182天的颅后骨骼中充气化的发育情况进行了研究。已证明了脊柱、椎肋、胸骨和肱骨中充气化发育的时间。在胸骨肋、髋骨或喙骨中未发现充气化现象。还对一群白来航蛋鸡和小公鸡从孵化到孵化后126天的喙骨和肱骨中的充气化发育情况进行了研究。在这一组中,肱骨的常规充气化在开始时间之后出现,并且与金色彗星蛋鸡不同,喙骨经常出现充气化。白来航蛋鸡肱骨中充气化的发育速度比小公鸡快,也比金色彗星蛋鸡快。
