w: week of age at recording; n: number of birds. SEM: standard error of mean; values within a row with no common superscript letter (^{a, b, c, d}) differ at p < 0.05 (Waller–Duncan test) between breed and sex. B, S, B × S: breed, sex and breed × sex interaction fixed effects on BW (model LM1); not significant (n.s.) p > 0.05, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
