Chickens of all the domesticated birds are produced largely for its economic value.

 

The poultry industry has become very lucrative due to high demand for chicken meat in the market. Production has never met up to demand, so that makes it very interesting and profitable. also government policies to boost agriculture have been a factor to the boom in this sector especially with the ban on the importation of frozen chicken.

           

Chickens are raised all year round as a source of food, for both their meat and egg.
