GOOD AS GOLD
. photo by Anda Anderson
Though they are not gold, the eggs are
Just as good as any other, but with a
difference they are blue. Graduate poul
try student, All Al-Timimi from Iraq,
says the light blue eolor of the eggs is
caused by a mutation which is quite rare.
The blue ones are in the center of the
tray.
It's About That
L
aying Blue Eggs
By Anda Anderson
Almost everyone has heard of the goose
that laid the golden egg, but hardly any
one knows about the hen who lays blue
eggs.
The hen and her daughters are doing
precisely that each day at the Univer
sity's poultry barns on Ag campus.
"It's a mutation, and it's quite rare,"
explained Dr. John Adams, head of the
department. "But it is not something un
heard of."
The Araucana breed of chickens in
South and Central America do lay blue
eggs. These hens have been studied.
Result of Mutation
"But this particular hen's blue eggs are
a result of a mutation which occurred
right here," he added. "Mutations may
occur in every 100,000 individuals. This
isn't too outstanding when one realizes
there are about 10 million hens in the
state."
Only one mutation has been demon
strated to affect egg color. "At first," he
added, "we thought it might le something
new, but It's the same one Bd. It is
dominant.
This gene is the same as the one found
In pheasants, who also have blue eggs.
"Their eggs, however, vary from cream
to olive green in color. This is deter
mined by the amount of brown in it. The
brown and blue togehter make a green
egg," he explained.
Traced to Pheasants
'it is not to be assumed that hens'
blue eggs can be traced to pheasants,"
he qualified.
The light blue eggs have no economic
value. "In fact, it might have an econ
omic disadvantage," he added. "We'd
have to re-educate the public to accept
blue eggs."
The University acquired the hen from
Emile Skidla of DeWitt about a year ago.
It is still laying eggs.
One Egg Daily
"Skidla wrote us that one of his sever
al hundred hens was laying a blue egg
daily. He offered us the hen, but had no
way of knowing which one was the guilty
one."
Dr. Kenneth T. S. Yao, a geneticist on
our staff knew there was a linkage be
tween the genes for blue shelled eggs and
the genes which regulate the shape and
size of the comb.
''Dr. Yao went to get the hen. He spot
ted it almost immediately. It's comb was
smaller than usual and it was anchored
half way back instead of all the way back.

Physical Fitness Test
Carlos Wear, associate pro
fessor of physical education
at the University, uses this
test-for -determimng-whether-!
a person is physically fit:
"A college man or woman
can be considered physically
fit for daily living if
1) He can participate skill
fully and without tiring quick
ly in vigorous physical ac
tivities, as tennis, badminton,
or swimming.
2) If he can recuperate
promptly from such activities
without undesirable aftor-ef-fects.
3) If he has a reserve of
energy at the end of a regu
lar day which enables him to
approach evening activities
with interest and enthusi
asm." This test, points out Wear,
is more effective in determin
ing if a person is physically
fit than for finding out if he
or she can do push ups or
chin ups.
Physical fitness cannot be!
assessed by a conventional!
medical examination alone, ;
notes J. Roswell Gallagher,
M.D., in his "Medical Care '
of the Adolescent."
"The medical examination!
only separates the healthy
from the unhealthy; it does
not say which are the strong-;
er, the most able ta with
stand reasonable stress," Gal-
lagher continues.
