Domestic fowl tested at 3, 5, and 7 days posthatch jumped from a heated grid more rapidly than animals tested at 14 days posthatch. Morphine (2.5 mg/kg) decreased jump latency in 14-day-old chicks but did not significantly affect jump latency in younger chicks. Respiration was lower in 3-day-old chicks than in the older groups but morphine depressed respiration at each age. In a second experiment morphine significantly decreased jump response latency in 5-day-old chicks when thermal stimulus intensity was lowered and morphine dose increased (5 mg/kg). Posttest respiration rate was depressed by morphine. Morphine hyperalgesia and respiratory depression were reversed by naloxone (5 mg/kg). However, naloxone alone increased jump response latency. Young domestic fowl are more sensitive and/or reactive to a noxious thermal stimulus and are less sensitive to morphine than 14-day-old chicks but morphine hyperalgesia was evident in both 5- and 14-day-old chicks. These hyperalgesic chicks may be tolerant at birth to morphine hypoalgesic effects on nociception.
