The present study was conducted to estimate the different production and reproduction performance of Indigenous chicken in certain districts of Assam under rural condition. The body weight of indigenous chicken ranged from 24.89±0.23 to 26.27±0.23, 740.00±11.67 to 862.25±17.31 and 1012.72±19.05 to 1389.12±35.30 gm at day old, 5 months and 10 months of age, respectively in different districts and communities. The sexual maturity of indigenous chicken found to vary from 160.63±4.61 to 177.27±4.88 days. The egg production per laying cycle and annual egg production ranges from 11.18±0.48 to 15.49±0.45 and 59.90±1.86 to 70.09±2.25 numbers,respectively.The egg weight ranges from 36.68±1.23 to 40.00±1.20g.The hatchability ranges from 79.78±1.13 to 85.01±0.53 in total egg set basis.
