The prices of chicken have seen a sharp increase over the last one and half month and it touched Rs 230-240 per kg level but it started decreasing and this week it came at the level of Rs 180-185 per kg. The stakeholders said the prices would decrease further in the coming days, as the farms had good stocks of chicken.
