USDA reported the national weighted average price for fresh conventional whole chickens delivered at 117.95 cents per pound for the week of November 2–6, 2026, up 0.58 cents from the previous week. Trading volume declined to 6.593 million pounds from 6.934 million, while regional prices and individual chicken-part prices were mixed.
The modest increase in whole-bird prices points to slightly firmer near-term chicken values, though lower trading volume and mixed part prices suggest the move is not broad-based. The report indicates a limited price signal for poultry buyers rather than a clear change in supply or demand.
