Abstrakt: Comparison of two inbred chicken lines (Fx > 99.9%) revealed significant differences in shape of the red blood cells (RBC). The length-width index was lower for both sexes in IC-line (1.46) when compared to CB-line chickens (1.88). Phenotypic expression of this character in F1 hybrids and both backcross groups corresponded to the common manifestations of the metric parameters. The index in F1 hybrid chickens deviated from intermediate values with the dominant tendency to oval RBC. An analysis of the segregating first backcross generation chickens did not show any association between RBC shape and the genotype in the blood group systems B, C, I, and D and the IgG allotypes. The differences in RBC shape were probably not associated with the survival of RBC in the blood circulation.
