Back to EpisodesThis Is What You Call A Collapse | Chicken Prices Plummet
Description
The Chicken market is what I’d almost call a collapse. Production is continuing strong, demand is not. Egg placements continue to inch up each week. The hatch rate is inching up too putting more chickens on the market. Wings, breast, tenders are all down again for next week. Take advantage of these low prices but this is not a healthy level for the producers. Now the weekly bird flu numbers. 18 new reports since last week. Total birds removed from the food chain 168K, mostly turkeys. total so far for the year, 47.7 million head. Turkey shortages will be with us well into 2023.
