Rural communities raise free-range chickens as a source of family food with the eggs and meat produced by the chickens. Native chickens carry out eating, drinking, creating, and reproducing. These activities are the behavior of native chickens to adapt to the environment. The study aims to investigate the behavior of the chickens daily in Agats. The study employs the scanning sampling method. We collected data by observing free-range chickens for 7 days in the morning (08.00–09.00 AM) and afternoon (03.00–04.00 PM). Ten chickens (5 males and 5 females) are used as sampling to investigate their behavior. The data related to the quantitative traits are measured: body length (cm), wing length (cm), chest circumference (cm), shank length (cm), and beak length (cm). Research showed that village chickens in Agats have the following quantitative traits: back length of 21.6 ± 3.31 cm; wing length of 16.2 ± 2.94 cm; chest circumference of 22.3 ± 3.20 cm; shin length of 8.7 ± 1.06 cm; and beak length of 2.8 ± 0.92 cm. Village chickens exhibit various behaviors in the morning, including feeding (21.8%), drinking (19.6%), perching (17.8%), locomotion (14.4%), mating (2.4%), resting (2.2%), and other unobserved behaviors such as grooming and agonistic behavior. During the day, the village chickens engage in various activities such as feeding (21.4%), drinking (20.2%), perching (13.8%), locomotion (12.8%), resting (2.2%), mating (1.6%), and other unobserved behaviors.
