This study investigates the egg production, hen house egg production, egg weight, feed conversion ratio (FCR), hatchability rate, and chick weight of True-to-type Bolinao native chickens from Abra and Bolinao origins over eight months. A total of 48 heads native chickens in each group with a ratio of 5:1 (hen: rooster) was followed, and data gathered such as the mean was tabulated in Excel and analyzed using SPSS on the T-test at 0.05 alpha for the significance level. Results indicate significant differences in egg production between the two groups, with Abra-origin chickens consistently outperforming Bolinao-origin chickens. Bolinao chickens displayed higher egg weights, but lower egg production compared to Abra chickens. However, both groups exhibited satisfactory hatchability rates and similar chick weights. The FCR was higher than optimal values for both groups, potentially due to lower egg production compared to commercial layers. Overall, the study underscores the importance of genetic, environmental, and management factors in influencing egg production and quality in native chicken populations, providing valuable insights for future breeding and management strategies.
