Abstract
Two exotic breeds of chickens namely New Hampshire (NH) and White Plymouth (WP) and two native breeds namely Dandarawi (DN) and Silver Montazah (SM) were used in a 4x4 diallel crossing experiment. A total number of 2413 chicks were included in the present study to estimate the phenotypic correlations among body weight , body measurements at different ages as well as carcass traits at 20 weeks of age . All estimates of phenotypic correlations were significantly positive (p
