12 articles on farmgate prices for Philippine backyard keepers, every peso figure sourced and dated.
What a grower is paid at the farm, before anybody dresses, transports or retails the bird. It is the number that decides whether a batch made money, and it is not the number on a palengke sign.
One calendar month in twelve clears its own year average often enough for a sign test to call it: June, in 14 of the 16 full years on record. A June sale is a May placement, and the lean is worth about ₱4.05 per kilo liveweight. The other eleven months carry nothing you can plan on.
Two Philippine standards written by the same bureau authorise the two words on an egg tray on opposite terms: one asks a farm to comply and then label its own eggs, the other asks for a certificate from a competent authority its own scope puts in the future tense. One caps outdoor range at a square metre a hen and forbids beak trimming; the other excludes any outdoor area from its space count and heads beak trimming Optional.
DA Administrative Order No. 5 s. 2019 gives the spent hen her own row in the transport rules, and of the twenty species rows in that section hers is the only one that closes a geographic route: no culls from Luzon to Visayas or Mindanao, and no spent chickens between major islands at all. What none of the four Philippine documents that legislate on her will tell you is which bird in your kulungan she is. Two fingers between the pubic bones answers that, and the sheet it comes from was written in Mississippi.
Which channel you may legally use is settled before price comes into it. The one Philippine table that puts a peso figure on the broiler middleman sits on page 47 of a DA roadmap almost nobody cites, and its retailer row is ₱4.70 out.
The buyer does not decide what your tray is worth. Eight weight classes, three quality grades and a 2 to 3% moisture loss in transit decide it, and all three live in one Philippine document that almost nobody selling itlog has opened.
₱77.90 per kilo liveweight is the number everyone quotes for a Philippine broiler. It comes from one 2017 table in Pampanga, and the paper carrying it prints the same figure twice in two different units.
The distance from the layer house to the palengke has gone from ₱0.69 the wrong way in 2018 to ₱1.94 in the first half of 2026. The two series it is drawn from are not the same egg, and the year the subtraction came out negative is the proof.
Sisiw and feeds put the floor near ₱68 to ₱80 a kilo liveweight at a ₱1,800 sack and a day-35 harvest. Every peso you spend after that raises it.
The last week of a broiler batch converts feed at about 1.94, worse than the whole-batch conversion any Philippine open-sided grower says he is aiming at. On feed arithmetic alone, growing on still pays. What stops a Philippine batch at day 28 to 35 is not the feed bill.
The comparison everyone makes runs both birds on pesos per kilo. Four in five native chicken keepers in a 584-respondent Region 1 survey never sell by the kilo at all, which is where most native-versus-broiler arithmetic quietly falls apart.
There is no such thing as the Philippine chicken price. For June 2026 there are eleven, every one correct: seven priced by the kilo from ₱117.47 to ₱343.40, and four eggs priced by the piece.
₱150.31 and ₱118.69 are both the June 2026 Philippine broiler farmgate price. The gap is not an error, and averaging the two is.
