Chicken prices are rising in Canada. This is causing concern for consumers and shopkeepers. The price has increased significantly since the end of September. The spread of bird flu in Canada and the US is the reason for the price increase. The fact that many chickens had to be killed due to bird flu has reduced the availability of chicken and caused the price to increase.
Chicken legs have seen the highest price increase. The price of chicken legs has increased by about 20 percent. Experts say that prices are likely to increase further in the winter. Experts also say that chicken production has decreased recently. Some shopkeepers have not increased prices for now, hoping that supply will improve soon. However, for those living in Canada, the current situation is that they have to pay more when buying chicken.
