# US chicken breast meat firms in an unusual autumn bid

> US wholesale boneless skinless breast meat rose slightly, an unusual autumn bid, as weekly broiler chick placements fell to 188.3 million, the smallest of 2026. Frozen breast stocks were 7.8% below a year earlier, and LEAP expects supply to keep downshifting over the next couple of months.
