    Abstract The conventional cereal grains that human beings compete for, along with proteins that are exceedingly costly in tropical conditions, make up the majority of the poultry rations. Productivity may increase by using non‐conventional feed resources since they lower production costs. The experiment was conducted in the Sodo district of the Gurage zone, in the central highlands of Ethiopia, to ascertain the effects of substituting enset ( Ensete ventricosum ) corm and potato ( Solanum tuberosum ) chips for corn on the quantity (58.75 ± 0.81) and quality of eggs laid by Bovans Brown layers. A total of 132 Bovans brown layers (1.67 ± 0.033 kg, Mean ± SD) aged 24 weeks were used in the investigation. In place of maize grain, the layers were fed feed that contained 0% (T1), 15% (T2), 30% (T3) and 45% (T4) of an enset corm and potato chip mixture at a 2:1 ratio. The trial was totally randomized and comprised four treatments. With 11 birds per replicate, each treatment was carried out three times. A 12‐week experiment was conducted. Hens were weighed at the start and end of the trial. Dry matter intake, hen‐day egg production (HDEP), egg weight and egg mass were all tracked daily. Every 15 days, four eggs per replicate were evaluated for four different egg quality metrics (eggshell weight and thickness, albumen weight and height, Haugh unit and yolk weight and colour). A mix of potato chips and enset corms with 3568 kcal/kg DM, 4.28% CP, 0.17% ether extract and 2.40% crude fibre. The average daily weight gains of T1 (2.08 g), T4 (1.99 g) and T3 (1.85 g) were comparable and significantly larger ( p < 0.05) than T3 (1.28 g). The feed conversion ratios among treatments were statistically different ( p < 0.05). The HDEP of T1 (81.08%) was significantly lower ( p < 0.05) than that of other treatments that included varying inclusion rates of potato chips and enset corms. Compared to T1 and T3, T4 showed a higher eggshell weight ( p < 0.05). The findings of this study suggest that enset corm and potato chips can be used in layer (Bovans Brown) rations to partially replace maize; further research is necessary to replace maize entirely (≥50%–100%) with enset corm and potato chips.
