Hyderabad witnesses all-time high chicken prices

Chicken prices in Hyderabad have reached a record high, which is bad news for those who enjoy eating chicken. Normally, chicken prices go down during the summer because the hens die due to the extreme heat. However, during the summer, there is a high demand for chicken because it is wedding season.

According to the latest reports, skinless chicken is being sold for Rs 310 per kg in the retail market, and the price is even higher in slum areas. Chicken with skin is being sold for Rs 260 to Rs 280 per kg. The prices have been varying for the last two weeks. On average, 5 to 7 lakh kg of chicken is being sold every day.

Last Sunday, 50 lakh kg of chicken was sold in Hyderabad, according to a member of the chicken dealer association.
