A high‐capacity, step‐wise system for drug evaluation in chickens with inherited muscular dystrophy has been developed. This report details the protocol and presents the first results from a rapid evaluation of the ameliorative effects of drugs on the impaired righting ability of dystrophic chicks. Of 31 compounds evaluated, only methysergide and corticosterone significantly increased righting ability.
