Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the association between body weight and linear body traits in Bench Maji indigenous chickens in three agro-ecological Zones, and to establish equations for prediction of body weight using linear body measurements. A total of 240 adult female chicken were used from purposively selected 120 households. Body weight was measured using weighing balance. Linear body traits such as body length, wing length, back length, keel bone length, chest width, shank length and circumference were measured using a textile measuring tape.
