Department aims to keep a lid on chicken prices

The Department of Internal Trade is monitoring chicken exports, urging producers and exporters to balance the proportion between domestic sales and shipments to prevent the price of chicken meat from getting too high.
Wattanasak Sur-iam, director-general of the department, said the reasons the price of chicken meat had increased from March to April this year were the hot weather and drought.
Higher temperatures and heat stress had resulted in lower feed consumption and growth rates, while the husbandry period had to be increased by three to five days, resulting in a 6% increase in costs for farmers, he said.
The department has been holding talks with chicken raisers and producers, who confirmed that chicken production has started to return to normal following a period of cooler weather, resulting in higher production levels and a decrease in the price of chicken meat.
Regarding concerns over a shortage attributed to rising exports, Mr Wattanasak said major chicken producers and exporters, namely Cargill Meats (Thailand) Co Ltd, CPF (Thailand) Plc and Saha Farm Co Ltd, agreed to balance the proportion of domestic sales and exports in an effort to stabilise the domestic prices of chicken and chicken parts.

Mrs N has just announced she’s sold a lot of chickens. I don’t think she’s asked enough money based on this

As an aside, anyone want a fresh turkey this Xmas? So fresh you’ll have to kill, pluck & gut it

I'm not sure how you'd kill a turkey, they're a big bird same same a goose. I might just pop down to Sainsbury's and get a turkey crown again.

My Nan and Grandad used to keep chickens; Bantams.

I’m sick to bleedin’ death of them.
We’ve got chickens, turkeys, ducks & massive frogs.
Mrs N has just sold 15 chickens to make room for the chicks growing up. Last week The Girl wanted an egg for breakfast & I had to go buy some

Is that why you're back posting on here, because chicken farming wasn't for you?

I'm here 'cos I've got no mates and OIC Udon Map put me on posting restrictions after I disrupted the care home day room. I was thinking of coming back to UM as a 15 year old homeless school boy looking for a farang pensioner sugar daddy but Cali beat me to it.

Chicken farming was never for me since the moment I discovered Mrs N had erected all the coops on my ฿1000/mtr stamped concrete path

[Butch]

Disappointing.

A couple of hungry pythons might be able to control the chicken population and reduce the number of coops.

The chicken killer & plucker phucked up. Not exactly sure what happened but it’s caused words to be exchanged today

[Butch]

I've seen that happen when the plucking starts before the necks are wrung, there is a system.

Mrs N is taking too close an interest with these geese for my liking
