The objectives of this research was to provide data both qualitative and quantitative traits of laughing chicken. The research was conducted in period of December, 2012 to Januari, 2013 in Kendari. The location was determined using purposive sampling where the population of laughing chicken was high enough either in Sub-district or in village levels. Seventy five adult chicken consisted of 50 cocks and 25 hens were used in thes research to observe both qualitative traits (feather colors, feather patterns, feather like, feather stripe, shank color and comb shape) and qualitative traits (body weight and body dimension). The data of qualitative traits were analyzed using relative frequency value (percentage) and reviewed descriptively, while quantitative data were presented in mean with standard deviation and variance coefficient. The result showed that laughing chicken in Kendari both cocks and hens has colored feather (ii), black color pattern (E_), silver-like feather color (S_), and non barred (bb) stripe feather. The cock shank was dominated by black/grey (idid) while the hen shank was dominated by white/yellowish (Id_). The cock comb was dominated by single comb (rrpp), while the hen was dominated by pea comb (rrP_). Body weight of cock ranged between 1,521,94 kg with the average 1,81±0,08 kg, while the hen body weight ranged between 1,26-1,54 kg with the average 1,38±0,09 kg. the high score of variance coefficient of body dimensions of cock were neck length (11,47%), followed by length of the third toe (11,10%), sternum length (10,68%) and shank circle (10,16%), and the low score observed in sternum circle (4,01%). The back length (4,01%). While the high score of variance coefficient of body dimensions of hen were sternum width (10,35%) and the low score was observed in neck length (2,67%).Key words: Qualitative trais, quantitative, laughing chicken, KendariPenelitian ini bertujuan memperoleh data sifat-sifat kualitatif dan kuantitatif ayam ketawa.

Ukuran-ukuran tubuh ayam ketawa jantan yang memiliki nilai koefisien keragaman (KK) tertinggi adalah panjang leher (11,47%), kemudian panjang jari ketiga (11,10%), panjang dada (10,68%), dan lingkar cakar (10,16%), sedangkan yang terendah nilai koefisien keragamannya adalah lingkar dada (4,01%) dan panjang punggung (4,01%). Ukuran-ukuran tubuh ayam ketawa betina yang memiliki nilai koefisien keragaman tertinggi adalah lebar dada (10,35) dan yang terendah adalah panjang leher (2,67%).Kata Kunci : Sifat kualitatif, kuantitatif, ayam ketawa, Kota Kendari
