Abstract
⺠We studied effects of increased prenatal testosterone (T) exposure in the chicken. ⺠T increased competitiveness in males up to the level of the female chicks. ⺠No effect of T on social rank, body mass or circulating plasma testosterone. ⺠Comb colour but not comb size tended to be feminized by testosterone. ⺠Maternal androgens interact with the process of sexual differentiation.
