    The review was conducted to management system and production Constraints of indigenous chicken ecotypes in Ethiopia. Scavenging production systems is the dominant management practices of chicken with small feed supplementation. High incidence of chicken diseases, mainly Newcastle Disease NCD is the major and economically important constraints for village chicken production systems followed by predator and feeds. The production system is still extensive and low in performances are the major character of indigenous chicken genetic resources. Indigenous chickens are largely dominated flock size and have good potential to adapt different agro-ecologies through low management systems. High incidence of chicken diseases, mainly NCD is the major economically important. Constraints for village chicken production systems followed by feed shortage and predators in the country.
