This study was conducted to assess chicken production systems, egg consumption trends, and on station hatchability performance of local hens at Farta district. From three agroecologies, seven administrative peasant associations were selected and a total of 280 chicken owner households were interviewed for a survey study using a multi-stage sampling technique (purposive and random). For egg consumption characteristics study, a total of 70 (10 from each peasant association) households were selected randomly and monitored for one month by using data collection formats. For on-station hatchability performance study, a total of 54 (48 hens and 6 cocks) chickens were purchased from local markets and twenty- four broody hens were selected to hatched different amounts (8, 11, 14, and 17) of eggs. Descriptive statistics and General Linear Model (GLM) by using SPSS (2011) version 20 was used for data analysis. The result of the survey study showed that scavenging was the only production system under which semi scavenging (47.5%) was dominant using a majority (45.31%) of local chicken‟s ecotypes. The mean chicken flock size per household was 5.23 birds (ranged 2-15). About 90.36 and 92.5% of chicken owners provided supplementary feed and water for their chickens, respectively. Only 36.1% of village chicken owners were prepared separate overnight housing. Provision of feed, water and house for chickens was generally lower in Wurch than Dega and Weina Dega agro-ecologies. Newcastle disease, Salmonellosis and Coccsidosis diseases were the most prevalent chicken diseases available in the study area. Age at sexual maturity of local breed males and females was 5.45 and 6.26 months, respectively. The average number of eggs laid by indigenous chicken per clutch/hen was 15.92±4.279 and mean annual egg production was 74.65±22.460. The mean hatchability performance of local hens under on-farm condition was 73.08% and only 63.5% was
