Abstract Indonesia is well known for its endemic fauna diversity including various aves dan poultry species, especially birds and local chickens. Sumatera island where Bengkulu province is located has varieties of endemic chickens such as balenggek chicken in West Sumatera, burgo chicken and Talang Benih duck in Bengkulu, and merawang chicken in Bangka Belitung. Burgo chicken is a crossmated species between male red jungle fowl and female kampung chicken. Unfortunately, an itemized morphometric studies to compare the size of its body part to its parental, kampung chicken, is still unrevealed yet until this present study conducted. The research results found that female burgo chicken had a smaller values of morphometrical size on body weight, chest girth, and chest length compare to kampung chicken, except for its body length. Average of burgo chicken and kampung chicken body weight, body length, chest girth and chest length were 0.7598 kg and 1.284 kg, 27.57 cm and 30.72 cm, 11.10 cm and 13.78 cm, 24.97 cm and 28.02 cm, respectively. Then, the coefficient of variation for burgo chicken and kampung chicken body weight, body length, chest girth and chest length were 17.48% and 19.58%, 7.73% and 6.67%, 8.71% and 14.44%, 6.53% and 8.32%, respectively. Furthermore based on t- test result, burgo chicken morphometrical size was significantly smaller than kampung chicken (P < 0.05). It can be concluded that variance of morphometric size of burgo chicken was smaller compared to kampung chicken. Keywords: Body size, burgo chicken, kampung chicken Introduction Among those poultry species, chicken has been used and produced on a large number to supply human’s protein necessity especially in South East Asia countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia etc. In general, chicken meat has been consumed widely across the world as one of our protein resources, and in some part of the world it is cheaper than other type of protein such as beef, venison or seafood. The poultry potentials for its egg and meat producer functions already contribute for giant foodstuff industries growth on earth. Oloyo (2018) wrote that this industry provides tons of financial benefits, not only for industries and governments but also yield a profit for smale scale poultry entrepreneurs.  Corresponding Author: Putranto, H.
