This study aimed to know body size of native chicken with a fed mixture of rice bran and cassava leaf as long 12 weeks. Animals used native chicken as much as 45 males and 45 females. The feed is commercial feed (P1), a mixture of 75% rice bran and 25% cassava leaves as a substitute for commercial feed given from the age of 5-12 weeks (P2) and the age of 9-12 weeks (P3). These research used a randomized complete design (RCD) 2x3 factorial with 3 repetition. The first factor was sex (male and female). The second factor was the type of feed (P1, P2 and P3). Data was analyzed of variance (ANOVA). The variables measured were body weight, wing length, length of spine, sternum length, length of femur, tibia length, shank length, chest circumference and shank circumference. The results showed no interaction between sex with feed treatment toward of body size. Feed affected the morphometric of native chicken. Feed P2 given the lowest performance for all body size variables and impaired growth of native chicken when given from the age of 5-12 weeks. Feed rice bran mixture 75% and 25% cassava leaf can be given from the age of 8 weeks.
