The chain lengths and diastereoisomer composition of alkane‐2, 3‐diol diesters of the uropygial glands of chicken changed significantly as the birds became physiologically mature. The C 24 diol decreased, and C 22 and C 23 diols increased. Threo isomer content of the diols decreased. In the acyl portion, the shorter (C 12 −C 15 ) acids decreased, and the longer (C 17 −C 20 ) acids increased.
