TLDR
The response of intact and bursectomized chicks to stressful stimuli has been examined and a very low concentration of corticosterone was found in the Bursa of Fabricius.About:

TL;DR: Although stress responses may be necessary for survival in wild bird populations, they are often detrimental to efficient growth, skeletal integrity and disease resistance in domesticated fowl.

TL;DR: This model is the first to show in a single experiment all the major adaptive stress responses of chickens, as well as relative weights of the major immunobiological organs, which were decreased and increased due to lipid and moisture accumulation.

Selection of Japanese Quail for Contrasting Blood Corticosterone Response to Immobilization
TL;DR: Japanese quail were divergently selected for 12 generations for increased (high stress, HS) and decreased (low stress, LS) blood corticosterone (B) response to unfamiliar environments and across nine generations of selection, the HS line exhibited a mean serum B response that was approximately 58% greater than that of the random-bred (control stress, CS) line.

Some Studies of the Protein-Binding of Steroids and Their Application to the Routine Micro and Ultramicro Measurement of Various Steroids in Body Fluids by Competitive Protein-Binding Radioassay
TL;DR: A 100-fold increase in sensitivity has now been achieved by using tritiated steroids in place of 14C-labeled steroids, by utilizing the CBG's of species other than man, and by using adsorption in Place of dialysis or gel filtration.

Determination of corticosterone in plasma by fluorometric techniques.
TL;DR: Four brief fluorometric methods for the determination of corticosterone were compared with a thoroughly validated extended fluorometric method which included chromatographic purification of the steroid, and were found to be grossly inaccurate when applied to avian adrenal plasma.
