The objective was to produce meat rustic chicken, to develop poultry farm with technical and economic viability in a semi-confined system, promoting work, production and income. The farm was planned with four areas (A, B, C and D). Family members were instructed on how to develop the activity. 100 chickens were raised each month.Data collection was done weekly, by weighing the batch. All batches showed good growth performance, which promoted satisfactory income from the sale of slaughtered poultry, with a net revenue forecast of R$ 899.18 each month. The Mean live weight, 2427,33 ± 91,84 g, mean slaughter weight, 1844,02 g ± 56,79, the mean weight of the slaughtered flock 176,02 Kg ± 3,36, Food conversion 2,67 ± 0,10, Mortality 4,50% ± 2,07, Viability 95,50% ± 2.07 and 70,00% ± 4,69 Food efficiency on Carcass. The model of rustic fowl raising here proposed proved to be sanitary and economically viable.
