The main objective of this study was to characterize the qualitative and quantitative morphometric traits of indigenous chicken populations reared in Kaffa Zone, South-Western Ethiopia. From the ten districts of Kaffa Zone, three districts were purposively selected based on their potential for chicken population. Data on both qualitative and quantitative traits of the indigenous chicken populations were collected from 300 randomly selected households of the three districts. Visual appraisals, body weight and linear body measurements were taken from 900 adult indigenous chickens of both sexes in the selected households. The results indicated that the average chicken flock size, clutch size and annual egg number per hen per year were 8.68, 3.6 and 44, respectively. The predominant comb type for males were single (59.7%) followed by rose comb (37%) while72.2 % of females were single combed followed by rose combs (24%). In males, red plumage color (57.3%), yellow shank color (61%), red earlobe color (80.7%) and yellow skin color (56%) were the dominant phenotypic traits. However, female chickens were characterized by reddish brown plumage color (35.8%), white shank color (33.3%), white earlobe color (44.2%) and white skin color (75%). The overall mean values of body weight, body length, wingspan,
