The study described the gross and microscopic anatomy of the testicle of sexually mature and immature native chicken. The study used ten native chickens that are divided into two groups: sexually mature and sexually immature. They are retroperitoneal in location, whitish-yellow in color, with the right being more cranial than the left testis. Testicular weight, length, width and diameter were significantly greater in sexually mature than in sexually immature
native chicken. Histologically, both testes of sexually mature and immature native chicken lack tunica vaginalis. The testis of sexually mature native chicken has a thick tunica albuginea and spermatogenic cells (spermatogonia, spermatocytes, spermatids, spermatozoa and Sertoli cells) are all present. For the immature testis, only the spermatogonia, spermatocytes and Sertoli cells are evident. No column formation was observed in the testis of sexually immature chicken. Few connective tissues were seen in between the seminiferous tubules of both testes of sexually mature and immature chicken. Myoid cells were also absent in both ages
