Aims: The study aims to search out the present status of backyard poultry farming (BYPF) and to identify the restrictions that poultry owners face and to determining the relationship between farmers’ socioeconomics status and their output. Study Design: The study was conducted in randomly selected fifteen villages of three divisions of Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu. Place and Duration of Study: Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu, India. Methodology: A structured interview was done with 240 respondents i.e. 80 each from the three Divisions. Results: The result revealed that participants were predominantly young, and had low level of education in backyard chicken production. Agricultural labour was the major occupation; they had marginal land and medium livestock holding with more than 6 years of poultry farming experience. Conclusion: The major constraints identified were high incidence of poultry diseases, lack of suitable germ plasm and attack by predators. Recommendation: Extension programmes should take place so that the poultry owners upgrade their knowledge and become more skillful using the new technologie. This way they can maximize the productivity and their income.
