# Indonesia's layer farmers cull up to 35% of productive hens as farm-gate egg prices stay at Rp19,000-22,000/kg | eFeedLink

> Indonesian layer farmers are culling hens at about 80 weeks instead of 100 and cutting pullet purchases, with culls reaching up to 35% of productive hens. Farm-gate egg prices are holding at Rp19,000-22,000/kg while bran prices have roughly doubled amid drought.

## Why it matters

Earlier culling and reduced pullet restocking shrink future egg output while drought-driven bran costs raise layer feed expenses, a combination that supports egg prices and squeezes feed margins for producers.
