Abstract

Native chicken production offers a promising source of income for rural communities, especially in remote areas. However, natural brooding limits egg production per hen, making artificial brooding necessary. In mountainous regions without electricity, artificial brooding poses challenges. This study aimed to evaluate indigenous brooding strategies for Philippine native chickens, focusing on environmental conditions, growth performance, survival rate, and chick welfare. A split-plot experiment using 252 chicks was conducted under a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The main factor was heating source—Tukong, Adjustable Hanging Heated Charcoal (AHHC), and Kerosene Lamp—tested across three litter floor types: White Wood Shavings, Rice Straw, and Rice Hull. AHHC consistently produced the highest temperature, lowest humidity (p
