Context: Native chicken farming has potential for development in several areas in Indonesia, because it is a very familiar practice and has specific community value. Both men and women have a role in raising native chickens. Aims: To construct a profile of the poultry system and determine the potential socio-economic impacts for meeting community needs as a basis for the development of future native chicken enterprises. Methods: The study was conducted in five areas in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, including Barru, Enrekang, Jeneponto, Maros, and Soppeng regencies. Interviews included 385 respondents (55.06% men and 44.94% women), most of whom were in the productive-age category (defined as 31–62 years of age) and were elementary school graduates. The number of family members was low, as was the number of chickens owned, being up to 25 chickens raised per year. Key results: Native chicken farming was determined to have a moderate socio-economic impact on communities, as the number of chickens owned was relatively low. Native chickens are used for consumption, income generation and savings, and as complements in religious and traditional ceremonies. The potential target markets for native chickens are diverse, including individual end consumers, restaurants, local markets, and inter-regional markets. The amount of income from selling chickens varies depending on the quantity sold and the price. The price of chicken will rise under certain conditions, such as during religious and traditional events. Technical production constraints to market development include inadequate housing, lack of sanitation, non-optimal disease management, and low use of vaccinations. The primary market constraint is that the rearing locations can be far from the city centre, and the number of chickens that can be produced for sale is low. Conclusions: Poultry management dynamics, such as feeding, housing, and sanitation, must be considered to expand native chicken production. It is essential to identify solutions for selling native chickens to significantly increase household income. Native chickens have a socio-economic impact, raising the family income, as complements in religious and traditional ceremonies, and affecting the social status of breeders. Implications: Information regarding the potential and prospects of native chicken farming from a socio-economic perspective can encourage communities to maintain and develop livestock enterprises to support the provision of animal protein for consumption and traditional uses, and to increase household incomes.
