Data analysis was performed using the allometric equation Huxley Y = aX The results showed that the coefficient of non-carcass growth and development of non-carcasses of male and female Chickens was significantly different from one which meant that it had time to cook development premature compared to overall body growth and growth patterns of non-carcass organ growth of Chickens both in males and females at the age of 0 - 5 weeks showed no significant difference.
