2007 journal article
Comparison of the immune response of 2003 commercial turkeys and a 1966 randombred strain when fed representative 2003 and 1966 turkey diets
POULTRY SCIENCE, 86(2), 241–248.
author keywords: genetic change; immunological change; diet; turkey
MeSH headings : Animal Feed; Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena; Animals; Antibodies / blood; Bursa of Fabricius / pathology; Diet / veterinary; Erythrocytes / immunology; Female; Male; Organ Size; Phytohemagglutinins / immunology; Sheep; Turkeys / classification; Turkeys / immunology
TL;DR:
Results indicate that selection over the years of turkeys for improved performance traits has had no adverse effects on most of the immune system indicators when examined prior to sexual maturity in the current study.

2003 journal article
A comparison of the immune profile of commercial broiler strains when raised on marginal and high protein diets
International Journal of Poultry Science, 2(5), 300.
TL;DR:
The results suggest that genetic differences exist between various commercial broiler chicken lines for cell mediated, humoral and innate immune responses, and, therefore some measures of immunocompetence could be considered as a selection criterion while selecting for performance traits.

2003 journal article
A comparison of the immune response of a 2001 commercial broiler with a 1957 randombred broiler strain when fed representative 1957 and 2001 broiler diets
POULTRY SCIENCE, 82(10), 1519–1529.
author keywords: broiler; diet; genetic change; immunocompetence; sex
MeSH headings : Animal Feed; Animals; Antibody Formation; Body Weight; Breeding; Chickens / genetics; Chickens / immunology; Chickens / physiology; Diet; Erythrocytes / immunology; Female; Immunocompetence / genetics; Lymphocyte Activation / drug effects; Lymphoid Tissue / anatomy & histology; Macrophages / immunology; Male; Organ Size; Phagocytosis; Phytohemagglutinins / pharmacology; Sheep / blood; Species Specificity
TL;DR:
It is suggested that genetic selection for improved broiler performance has resulted in a decrease in the adaptive arm of the immune response but an increase in the cell-mediated and inflammatory responses.
