    Cemani chicken is one of the genetic resources of native chickens from Temanggung Regency, Central Java which has the potential to be developed into superior chickens in Indonesia. Cemani chickens have wide spread and developed outside their natural habitat (in-situ). Thus, the purpose of this study was to compare and study the differentiating variables of chickens based on body sizes seen from their conservation sites. Morphometric of body measurements used as the basis for characterization were body length, chest length, chest width, chest circumference, back length, and shank length. The measurement of chicken body size variables was carried out on Cemani chickens in their natural habitat (in-situ) and ex-situ, which were kept in the Balitnak cage. The materials used were 22 Cemani chickens (14 hens and 8 roosters) from in-situ conservation and 36 Cemani chickens (11 hens and 25 roosters) from ex-situ conservation. The collected data were analyzed using the Independent Sample T-Test analysis. Differences in conservation sites showed significant results for the hen Cemani chicken body size variables (P<0.05), while the rooster Cemani chickens differed only for body length variables (P<0.05). Therefore, rooster Cemani chickens are relatively more uniform than hen chickens based on their conservation area.
