USDA AMS reported the national composite whole-bird chicken weighted average at 117.39 cents per pound for the week ending October 23, up 0.44 cents from the prior week. Volume was 6,636 thousand pounds versus 6,907 thousand the week before.
Slightly higher whole-bird prices and slightly lower volume indicate firm chicken demand, supporting poultry producers' feed purchases.
