Farming Chicken Types We have:
Farmi Murgi (Farm Chicken) refers to chickens raised commercially in farms, often for meat or egg production. There are different types of farm raised chickens based on their purpose (meat or egg production).
Here are the main types of farm chickens:
1. Broiler Chicken
- Purpose: Raised primarily for meat production.
- Characteristics: Fast-growing, large-sized chicken with tender meat. Broilers are usually ready for slaughter in 6 to 8 weeks.
2. Layer Chicken
- Purpose: Raised for egg production.
- Characteristics: Smaller in size compared to broilers, with a higher egg-laying capacity. They are kept in large numbers in controlled environments.
3. Cockerels
- Purpose: These are young male chickens, often raised for meat.
- Characteristics: They are raised in farms for meat production and tend to have a more muscular build compared to broilers.
4. Pullet
- Purpose: Young female chickens that have not yet started laying eggs.
- Characteristics: Raised for eventual egg production but may be slaughtered for meat.
5. Hybrid Chicken
- Purpose: These are crossbred chickens, often a mix of different breeds, designed to optimize either meat or egg production.
- Characteristics: They tend to have a faster growth rate and are more efficient at egg-laying compared to pure breeds.
These types of farmi murgi are commonly found in poultry farms, and each is used for specific purposes depending on market demand.

How chicken prices move in Pakistan
Anyone who has bought chicken in Pakistan for a few years knows the pattern: prices rarely sit still for long. The biggest single driver is feed cost — when poultry feed gets expensive, farm-gate rates climb within days and retail follows. Then come the demand waves: Ramazan and the two Eids reliably push prices up as households and caterers buy more, winter brings its own demand bump, and wedding season keeps the pressure on in Punjab’s cities.
The other constant is the gap between official and street prices. District administrations notify wholesale and retail rates — in Karachi, the Commissioner’s office issues a daily poultry rate list — but in open markets, retailers frequently charge above the notified figures, especially when supply tightens. Checking the live table above against your local shop’s board is the simplest way to avoid overpaying.
What factors affect chicken prices?
- Feed Costs – Chicken needs food to grow. If feed prices go up, chicken prices go up too.
- Weather – Hot or cold weather can make chickens sick, which means fewer chickens and higher prices.
- Supply and Demand – If more people want chicken, the price goes up. If not many people want it, the price goes down.
- Transportation – Fuel prices affect transport. High fuel costs mean it’s more expensive to move chickens, so prices go up.
- Farm Costs – Farmers need money for equipment, water, and electricity. If these cost more, the chicken will, too.
- Diseases – If chickens get a disease, fewer are available. This makes the price go higher.
- Government Rules – Sometimes, rules about farming or food safety add extra costs, which raises chicken prices.
- Seasonal Demand – During holidays or festivals, more people buy chicken, which pushes prices up.
