Chicken Market Update- Week of 4/9

· The week before Easter, and all is very quiet. Poultry is sitting on the back burner for retail ads, so breast meat demand is very sluggish.

· Wings are steady, but cracks in the foundation are starting to show up. There should be relieve very soon.

· Tenders are still tight, thigh meat and hindquarters are also still in high demand and supply follows suite.

· Overall supplies are adequate on most lines, we demand spotty at best.

· The industry is hoping for better demand after Easter.
