Abstract: In order to provide scientific reference and theoretical basis for breeding, health testing and economic development of princess chicken. The body size traits and blood physiological and biochemical indexes of 12-week-old princess chicken were measured. The results showed that, (1)Live weight of male princess chicken was very significantly higher than those of female chickens(P<0.01), keel length, shinbone girth and Shank length were significantly higher than those of female chickens(P<0.05), body length was higher than those of female chickens, not reached significant level (P>0.05); (2)The blood physiological and biochemical: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) of male12-week-old princess chicken was significantly higher than those of female chickens (P<0.05), a-hydroxy butyric acid dehydrogenase (a-HBDH) index of male12-week-old princess chicken was significantly higher than those of female chickens (P<0.05), triglyceride (TG) and uric acid (UA) index was significantly lower than those of female chicken (P<0.05), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) index was very significantly lower than the those of female chickens (P<0.01), other Blood physiological and biochemical indicators were no significant difference (P>0.05). The blood biochemical indicators of 12-week-old princess chicken were relatively stable, this conclusion provided a certain theoretical reference to breeding, disease diagnosis, treatment and management of princess chicken and also showed that the princess chicken owned good disease resistance and anti-stress ability.
